Attorney General Frosh Joins 21 States and Territories in Opposing USDA Rule that Would Unlawfully Strip Residents of SNAP Benefits
Coalition Opposes Federal Attempt to Limit States’ Flexibility with SNAP Benefits
BALTIMORE, MD (April 3, 2019) – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today joined a coalition of 21 states and territories in opposing an unlawful Trump administration effort to strip residents of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) proposed rule, “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirements for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents,” would affect the SNAP program—the country’s most important anti-hunger program. The coalition filed a comment letter against the proposed rule that would limit states’ ability to extend SNAP benefits beyond a three-month period for certain adults. This means more than 750,000 people nationwide could lose their nutrition benefits. The coalition argues that this rule actively undermines Congress’ intent in creating the food-stamp program; violates federal law because it is being implemented arbitrarily and without sufficient justification; and would hurt the states’ economies and have a disproportionate impact on protected groups.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Frosh to get curious about Baltimore mayor's clandestine book deal, or the other shenanigans at UMMS board.
of course he is concerned think of all the money lost in the state due to their incompentence and giveaways to many illegals and lazy.
Heaven forbid they have to go to work and get a paycheck to pay for their own groceries.
Like that old lady pilgrim told Josey Wales "if you don't work you don't eat around here".
What the HELL does SNAP Benefits have to do with doing his job as the States top law enforcement official?
The only way this state is going to survive Democrat rule and destruction is to get an electoral college.
He's probably had his hand on another shady deal through this program as well
can't afford me don't have them.
