Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we reviewed studies published through June 2025 across five databases (EBSCO, ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed), focusing on articles assessing policy expansions related to child maltreatment. After screening, 29 studies met our inclusion criteria. Broader expansions in programs, such as EITC, SNAP, Childcare Subsidies, Minimum Wage, and Medicaid, were generally associated with reductions in child maltreatment, particularly neglect, and, in some cases, physical abuse. Combined policy expansions were also linked to reduced maltreatment. In contrast, limited changes\u2014such as more flexible redetermination procedures or copayment adjustments\u2014had little effect unless introduced alongside broader eligibility expansions. Neglect appears more responsive to economic interventions, suggesting that other abuse types may require additional supports beyond income assistance. To maximize effectiveness, future efforts should expand proven programs and strengthen weaker ones through improved design and implementation. Even established programs require continued attention to equity, including administrative and geographic barriers limiting access for eligible families.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380251398777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,18]],"date-time":"2025-12-18T08:55:03Z","timestamp":1766048103000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Impact of Poverty-Related Policy Expansions on Child Maltreatment: A Scoping Review of a Broad Policy Set"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0688-0444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yun Young","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4104-3387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyunil","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","volume-title":"How a permanent expansion of the child tax credit could affect poverty","author":"Acs G.","year":"2021","unstructured":"Acs G., Werner K.
