Administration proposes sweeping food stamp restrictions
The administration outlined a plan to limit food stamp aid to official poverty level families, potentially removing about 1 million households and saving roughly 1.2 billion dollars annually. It ties eligibility to yearly poverty figures with a 100 dollar month standard deduction, boosting gross income limits and affecting millions of recipients. It faces criticism from senators McGovern and Dole who urge broader reform rather than shrinking the program.
