Michigan Begins Enforcing Work Requirements for Food Stamps

Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is beginning to enforce federal work requirements mandating all able-bodied adults to work 20 hours a week to receive food stamps after three months.

State officials began enforcing the work requirements statewide on Monday, although 14 counties in the state had already implemented them.

Starting Monday, new food stamp applicants between the ages of 18-49 who are able-bodied and without dependents will have to work, volunteer, or participate in job training for 20 hours a week immediately to receive benefits. People already receiving food stamps will be given a three-month grace period to find work after meeting with a case manager.

Since they have to be without dependents, I doubt it will affect many people.

If they say that if you have dependents, you do not have to work, watch out for tons of babies being born. That's what they do to get on welfare in the first place. Just as soon as they get out of high school. Some before. Come here baby, momma will tell you what to do to get on the payroll.
