Food Stamp rolls down 1.1 million under Trump. Work requirements and other policies are effective

[ColonelAngus]

At the state level, food stamp enrollment dropped significantly in places such as Georgiaand Alabama once they instituted work requirements for able-bodied adults to receive food stamps. Both states fully implemented work requirements for food stamp recipients in 2016-2017.

More Than 1.1 Million Fewer Americans on Food Stamps Under Trump

That has nothing to do with Trump. The rules for a work requirement were written a long time ago.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Aren't the people who are not working the ones who need food stamps the most? This might work in an up-economy; but it lacks foresight, imo.

Food Stamp rolls down 1.1 million under Trump

 

[Siete]

the number of Americans in poverty fell substantially between 2012 and 2013 — by nearly 1.2 million. The poverty rate is also falling. The latest figure — 14.5 percent in 2013 — was down from 15.1 percent in 2010.

Why are there fewer people on food stamps? Is it because the requirements are so onerous that they know they can't comply and don't bother to show up? You really can't say one way or the other because there is no scientific study of the decline. People just put their own spin on it. If you don't give a damn about people, it is because of work requirements. If you are on the other side, people are being starved.

You know the crazy part? Going to school full time doesn't count towards the requirement to get food stamps.

The poor will suffer as President Obama cuts food stamps by $8.7B

This work requirement on the surface may seem to be reasonable to supporters of these changes. But it is not taking into account the high unemployment rate due to lack of jobs. Very few states that have adopted the work requirement are offering training or jobs to those affected by the new rules. This can represent a loss of $150 to $170 per person per month, which will increase economic hardship for recipients.

That's a lie. The work requirement for food stamps was created under Bill Clinton in 1996. The requirement was only waved and people given more than 3 months because of the unemployment rate being at a certain level in each state.
