Title: Food stamp benefit expires for many Americans this year
Post by: mrclose on April 02, 2016, 01:39:18 AM
And they can all thank Obama for the Great Economic resurgence!  :yahoo:

I'm thinking that the economy will get even better when all these folks have to go out and .. purchase alarm clocks! :hyper:

As many as 1 million Americans will stop receiving food stamps over the course of this year, the consequence of a controversial work mandate that has been reinstated in 22 states as the economy improves.

The 20-year-old rule – which was suspended in many states during the economic recession – requires that adults without children or disabilities must have a job in order to receive food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for more than three months, with some exceptions. Many states have begun to reimpose the federal rule as the economy recovers, with the largest group reviving it at the beginning of this year. As a result, many recipients’ three-month limit expired Friday.

Right before an election.

You hitch your wagon to that government mule, don't complain when it dies.

The Truth about obama's wonderful economy will start to raise it's ugly head!
(Then what will the liberals have to say?)

For example ...

Many of the jobs being created in the recovery are low paying and part time — in some cases for less than 20 hours a week — so some people who manage to find jobs may qualify for, and need, SNAP, yet be subject to the three-month cut-off.


In 2016, the time limit will be in effect in more than 40 states.  :popcorn:
