Scott Walker Boots 15,000 People Off Food Stamps In Three Months

In just three months, 15,000 people in Wisconsin have already lost food stamps thanks to Gov. Scott Walkers (R) decision to enforce full work requirements for the program in Milwaukee despite economic conditions dire enough to trigger a federal reprieve.
.
Walkers administration made the policy change in April. Since then, anyone deemed to be an able-bodied adult with no dependents to care for must prove they are working or participating in job training programs for at least 20 hours per week. Failing to meet that standard means losing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits after three months.
.
The 15,000 bumped from the rolls from May to July is only half the number the state predicts will ultimately lose food stamps because of the move.
.
The 20-hour weekly work requirement is typically waived when economic conditions are too tight. Since making people hungrier doesnt create jobs where none exist, the federal government alerts states each year to the areas within their borders where the work rules can be suspended. Other linkages between SNAP enrollment and a persons willingness to work a job if offered one remain in place, but the hard-and-fast hourly rule is waived.
.
Unless a governor decides not to heed the federal economists who study local labor markets, as Walker did here and numerous other state leaders most Republican have done in the past few years. In Wisconsin, about 60,000 of the states nearly 800,000 SNAP recipients were expected to be subject to the new rules.
.
There are 14 counties in Wisconsin where the labor market is too weak for the federal government to enforce the requirements. Walker declined to except those counties when his administration reinstated the stiffer rules, leaving food stamps recipients to contend with work rules in local economies where work is too hard to find.
.
The 14 counties contain roughly a quarter of the states 5.8 million overall population, but more than half of Wisconsins non-white population. Mostly thats because three of the states most ethnically diverse population centers Milwaukee, Racine, and Beloit all qualify as Labor Surplus Areas for fiscal year 2016. The additional burdens of Walkers food stamps decision are therefore falling on about one in four of his citizens, but one of every two people of color in his state.
