South Carolina welfare cuts 20 percent in February
South Carolina plans a 20 percent reduction in monthly welfare payments, lowering the typical two child family check from 270 to 216 dollars starting in February as the state grapples with a 28.8 million dollar deficit. Advocates say the move will harm families and push for tighter work requirements and eligibility checks.
