support/relief/maintenance
Although it is an 'expense' for the state etc., relief, or one of the other suggestions above, is more suitable in my opinion. See ordbogen.com to help you find the most appropriate term.

public assistance expenses
This is often referred to as public assistance in the US (+expenses in this case). Forsørgelsesudgifter seems to be a rather general term, as per the following quote from the website listed below:
"Der er beklageligvis konstateret en fejl i opgørelsen af fordelingen på kommunale og statslige forsørgelsesudgifter på følgende ydelsesområder: Kontanthjælp, Starthjælp, Introduktionsydelse, Revalidering, Forrevalidering og Ledighedsydelse. Fejlen påvirker ikke opgørelsen af de samlede forsørgelsesudgifter."
