Foodstamps will have to look for work

The administration of US President Donald Trump wants to make more people work to get food stamp benefits (food stamp benefits). Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP), writes CNN Money.

The US Department of Agriculture will look for ways to bring in working-age adults who do not have dependent children. The ministry plans to work with state authorities to "promote self-reliance" for unemployed citizens and give the authorities greater local control over the SNAP program.

To use SNAP, you need to work. Adults without underage children can receive food stamps only 3 a month from the 36 month period, if they do not work or do not participate in 20 volunteer programs per week. However, states can cancel this requirement in areas where the unemployment rate is at least 10%.

“Too many states have been asked to waive the work requirement, abdicating their responsibility for moving program participants toward self-sufficiency. Past decisions may have been easy and short-term, but USDA policy must change,” said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue.

Most recipients already work. In households that receive SNAP and have at least one adult without a disability, 58% are employed and 82% worked for a year before or after enrolling in the program, according to left-leaning Center for American Progress.
