Food stamp rules cut recipients and reshape benefits
Government plans cut more than a fourth of current food stamp families as new rules take effect after June 1. The change replaces complex eligibility tables with a flat 30 percent of income after a monthly deduction of 100 dollars, with 125 dollars for seniors. The overhaul aims to remove 5.3 million people by September 1977, and implementation will occur in stages across states.
