The plan would eliminate cash purchases for stamps, removing $3 billion in coupons from circulation and scrapping about 15 000 private vendors. It could bring 880 000 more households into the program, adding $550 million to the budget, while cutting monitoring costs. Opponents warn of shifting the $66 cash spend to other needs, but supporters say many eligible families cannot afford upfront cash.
