The study skips right over a certain brutality of the rule: So. If you: 1) Aren't taking care of minors full-time 2) In an approved work-training program at least 20 hours a week 3) Pregnant 4) In treatment 5) On disability You are assed out of food stamps for THREE YEARS. Thirty six months. Longer than a congressman's term. And it doesn't fucking matter if there aren't any jobs or approved training programs near you. It certainly doesn't matter if official unemployment statistics in your 'hood are pushing 15%: What the study proves is that when you make food stamps impossible to get, fewer people are on food stamps.DHHS has a new rule that limits Food Supplements for some people between the ages of 18 and 50. If the rule applies to you, you can only get benefits for 3 months during a 36 month period.
