Carolinas Sued Over Food Stamp Outreach Actions
A New York based group says only 25 percent of eligible North Carolinians receive food stamps, while South Carolina hits 52 percent. The Food Research and Action Center has joined suits charging 17 states with failing to enroll eligible people. Pollack said suits aim to compel compliance with outreach to inform and enroll eligible families. States named include Colorado Idaho Indiana Maryland Michigan Minnesota Nevada New Hampshire New York Ohio South Dakota Texas Virginia Washington and West Virginia. North Carolina’s HRS said outreach began last year with a second phase announced this week. South Carolina noted a program using social workers to reach eligible persons.
