Dole Pushes Tighter Food Stamp Policy in Senate Plan
The Senate Agriculture Committee backs a Dole proposal to curb food stamp costs by reducing beneficiary errors. It would require states to cut improper issuances to 5 percent within three years and empower recovery of funds from ineligible recipients, possibly via unemployment benefits or tax refunds, while avoiding broad benefit cuts. The plan aims to save $90 million next year, rising to $325 million in 1985.
