Legal Aid wins concession on food-stamp income rule
A U S District Court issued a temporary restraining order against Vermont Social Welfare Dept from counting food stamps as income or resources. The hearing on a class action by general assistance recipients set a new pause until Jan 10 for further hearings. The suit cites federal rules that food stamps must not count toward eligibility or aid amounts, arguing the state’s counting reduces benefits and in effect substitutes for food stamps rather than supplementing diets.
