Court orders new food stamp plan to guarantee adequate diet
The U S Court of Appeals ruled the current food stamp formula invalid for failing to ensure a nutritionally adequate diet for all 19.6 million participants and gave the Agriculture Department 120 days to draft a new plan while leaving existing rules in effect. The decision notes the Economy Food Plan inadequacy and cites $410.24 monthly costs for an 11 person household versus a $248 allotment in New York City.
