The Trump Effect: Ohio passes bill requiring greater food stamp oversight

[TalkRadio1]

House Bill 119, which passed the Ohio Senate on Wednesday and the Ohio House on Thursday, would allow state officials to review the eligibility of people receiving benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the program responsible for doling out food stamps, every three months instead of every year.

The legislation would also allow the state to provide the same oversight of Medicaid recipients.

Food stamp enrollment among Ohio residents has gone down by 3.7 percent during the past year, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The declining enrollment in Ohio is part of a larger downward trend in food stamp usage nationwide, as 47 out of 50 states report a decrease in food stamp usage between September 2017 and September 2018, USDA data shows.

It isn't greater oversight, it's only more frequent oversight.

Read the bill. There's nothing about preventing guys from using food stamps to pay for lap dances in their clubs.

I haven't dealt with food stamps for a long time, but I believe there are laws limiting where they can be used. Of course, the dancer could accept payment in food stamps and use them to buy groceries.

I wonder how many places that still occurs.. I'm not saying it doesn't, I do know that places are switching over to different EBT type cards and that has to have had some effect. Again, not trying to debate how much of an effect, you just got me thinking your last sentence about when all food stamps were some sort of printed "currency" as opposed to the digital options that now are out there....

It's stil the Trump effect though, people saying things when they don't know what they are talking about. Witness the OP.
