President Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to impose new restrictions on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, formerly known as food stamps.
President Biden and House Republicans’ tentative deal to raise the debt ceiling makes cuts in domestic spending that are likely to disproportionately hurt low-income and other vulnerable people.

When most people hear “work requirement,” they assume that those in need can just meet the requirement and obtain assistance. They assume they’re like the airlines’ seat belt requirement, which allows anyone to fly as long as they simply buckle up.Before the 1990s, work requirements in welfare programs generally operated that way. No more.
