Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1998: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Department Operations, Nutrition, and Foreign Agriculture of the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifth Congress, Second Session on H. R. 4571, September 23, 1998
Many States report that the able-bodied adults without depend ents caseload has declined more dramatically than the overall food stamp caseload rate.
Due to the declining number of able-bodied adults without de pendents cases, restrictions on State spending of Federal employ ment and training funding are leading to dramatic imbalances in the amount of funds available and services to this population and the rest of the food stamp recipients. For example, the State of Texas estimates that it will have over 12 times more money avail able for able-bodied adults without dependents than for anyone else on food stamps. In real dollars, for example, that breaks down to $491 for a single 23-year-old male on food stamps compared to just $40 for a 23-year-old mother of four participating in the same pro gram.
