"FIGHTING FOR A CHANGE IN THE FOOD & MEDICAID ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, TO GO BY NET INCOME ONLY
The Issue
To me, it has been something that needs to be addressed for hard-working families. I feel that for Food Assistance, Medical or Cash Assistance should no longer be allowed to go by the Gross Income of that person's paycheck.
My reasons are that that family is made to look like they make a lot of money. But in reality, after all the taxes and medical coverages are taken out of those paychecks it's barely enough to cover all the bills. So I am asking that there please be a change made for those that are in need of assistance. I also ask that in the process of them working your case that how quickly they cut your benefits off time you report you are working, that they work on your case in the same quick time frame if you have a loss in income. Loss in income could be their hours cut or they were no longer needed on that job.
This will greatly help those families who are striving to be successful in life but may need assistance to help provide for their children.
