States impose asset limits on food aid in Michigan and Pennsylvania
Michigan and Pennsylvania tighten asset tests for food stamp eligibility as caseloads rise. In Michigan, a car and modest bank balance previously doomed families like the Moores, but the rule eased to allow one vehicle and a second not worth over 15 000 dollars. Pennsylvania plans limits of 5500 dollars in assets, with exemptions for a home and one car, affecting about 4023 households in May.
