700K Americans will be stripped of basic food assistance. Yes, food. Many are disabled, or working multiple part-time or seasonal jobs. This exec order doesn’t help folks find steady jobs. It simply makes struggling families struggle more. This is cruel.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nearly-700-000-will-lose-food-stamps-usda-work-requirement-n1095726 …

Not what the article says: The USDA rule change affects people between the ages of 18 and 49 who are childless and not disabled.

For these types of benefits, they use SSD/SSI guidelines to determine disability status. This ignores disabilities related to mental health as well as VA determinants of disability. Therefore, it most definitely will impact folks who have disabilities.

If somebody was already receiving benefits with a mental health disorder or VA disability why would it change? Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s up to the states to determine this correct? I’m all for helping people & will but the aim is to get abusers off (and there's a ton) no?

The benefits and guidelines that I’m referencing here are all at a federal level.
