Massachusetts Implements GENIUS Program To Stop Welfare Abuse, More States To Follow Massachusetts has been experiencing severe problems with welfare fraud. They are losing millions because people who dont actually need benefits are taking them from the government. $2.39 million alone went to recipients who had been dead between 6 and 27 months. Republican Brad Jones took charge of the program to begin fingerprinting recipients so that those who dont deserve them, dont receive them. They are hoping to get the system in place as soon as possible, and other states are soon to follow. The bill passed 158-0 in the house, and is waiting for Senate approval. A lot of people need it and some people take advantage. I think fingerprinting and drug testing too, anything they can do to get those people out who abuse the system, said a random resident that was being interviewed. This could be very effective. Do you think it should be implemented in every state?
