85% drop in AL food stamp recipients after work requirements restarted

[Life is Golden]

Thirteen counties in Alabama saw a drop in food stamp usage after work requirements were placed on applicants.

Work requirements were placed on these thirteen counties in January of 2017.

Prior to January 2017 the thirteen counties- Greene, Monroe, Clarke, Washington, Conecuh, Barbour, Sumter, Choctaw, Hale, Perry, Dallas, Lowndes, Wilcox- were exempt from work requirements.

Between the years of 2011-2013 Alabama waived the work requirements for SNAP due to high unemployment rates. This meant that able-bodied adults with no dependents were NOT limited to three months of SNAP within a three-year time frame unless they were working or participating in an approved training program.

As of January 1st, 2017 these counties were no longer exempt. SNAP assistance has decreased by 85 percent since the work requirements were returned to SNAP recipients in these areas.

If they have to work the for the food cards, it takes the fun out of selling them for cash.

How were they exempt from the 3 month work requirement?

Also, isn't this what Clinton did or something like it? He reformed welfare so that people couldn't just sit on their ass all day?

I have no problem with the 3 month time period to find work. Honestly, I think it is a bit short, but it seems to work (no pun intended). But how were these people exempt?

That's the good news. The bad news is they didn't get jobs - they took up robbery. Most blacks can't read and cannot get jobs.

During the economic downturn of 2011-2013, several states - including Alabama - waived the SNAP work requirements in response to high unemployment. It was*reinstituted for 54 counties on Jan. 1, 2016 and for the remaining 13 on Jan. 1, 2017. As of April 2017, the highest jobless rate among the 13 previously excluded counties was in Wilcox County, which reported a state-high unemployment rate of 11.7 percent, down more than 11 percentage points from the county's jobless rate for the same month of 2011.

Consider them opportunities for all you bleeding hearts to prove your claims that you care. All you've done is say you care for those that don't have food. Now, you can prove it by making voluntary donations to feed them. That means, if they do without, it's on those of you that claim you care but DO nothing.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Work requirements are retarded and should be banned nationwide. SNAP and medicaid should be totally federalized and taken from the states so that they can't refuse to serve black people.
