Welfare Could Double In Arkansas Under New Form
Welfare Commissioner Len E. Blaylock said Arkansas could double the number of food stamp eligible people under a new form. With the Agriculture Department's increased stamp purchases, the plan cuts required income contributions and raises coupon value, eroding past payments for families like a mother with three children. Eligibility hinges on income and household size, and some counties may switch from the commodities program to food stamps.
