35,000 Welfare Leeches Just Got Hit With A Brutal Wakeup Call According to an announcement on AL.com, a new food stamp program in Alabama will require people to work just 20 hours a week in order to receive benefits. This law has already proving effective in eliminating welfare abusers. 35,000 people stopped receiving benefits because of the requirement to show part-time work. The significant drop took place between January 1st and April 1st. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 limits the receipt of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits to 3 months in a 36-month period for able-bodied adults without dependents who are not working at least 80 hours per month, the USDAs website read. While liberals have argued that the legislation will only further limit struggling Americans, it appears it is effectively weeding out those who are simply unwilling to work. These programs only target those able to maintain workand it shows how little it takes to discourage them from mooching off hardworking taxpayers. What do you think? Should more states implement policies like this?
