Welfare bill looms as critics fear cash aid limits
As Governor Brownback readies to sign the new welfare bill critics warn the cash limit and spending prohibitions may be hard to enforce. Topeka Rescue Mission director Barry Feaker questions how a $25 daily cash allowance can cover rent and essentials for TANF families, many without checking accounts. The bill limits purchases to certain items and bans alcohol and similar goods, raising concerns about enforcement and practical impact on 6,200 TANF families. The Department for Children and Families says tracking after ATM withdrawals will be tough but notes the cash limit applies only to ATM use. A5 page reference noted.
