Welfare Budget Deadlock Sparks Credit Stamp Plan
Harrisburg AP United States Agriculture Department waives cash requirements allowing welfare recipients in Pennsylvania to obtain food stamps on credit starting next week. Enrollees may sign to deduct stamp costs from future relief checks and pick stamps at banks via county boards of assistance. The move comes amid a stalled state budget and unpaid welfare checks, with lawmakers, union leaders, and Catholic Conference members urging faster action. The plan targets about half of welfare recipients already in the program. four-person families with 230 monthly welfare income could receive $58 in stamps, while the usual $38.50 per person is deducted from future relief payments. State workers similarly await budget resolution to avoid pay gaps, and officials seek federal approval for credit stamps for employees. The dialogue at budget talks continues amid criticism from leaders and Catholic advocates over the delay’s human impact.
