Well done, Hoosiers, well done
Changes kick 50,000 Hoosiers off federal food stamp program
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (August 25, 2015) – Almost 50,000 Hoosiers are working to find a job, after losing their qualification for food stamps. It is no longer legal in Indiana for able-bodied adults without children to use food stamps if they’re unemployed.
After the recession in 2008, Indiana opted to remove the requirement that forced food stamp recipients to work; a federal requirement put into place in 1996 by the passage of The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act.
Lawmakers have decided the economy is back to a spot where if you’re using food stamps, and you’re able, you should have a job.
