New York Times: Living on Nothing but Food Stamps
Posted by Carolyn Spohrer at 11:42 AM Press Releases
In a New York Times article, authors Jason DeParle and Robert M. Gebeloff write:
"About six million Americans receiving food stamps report they have no other income, according to an analysis of state data collected by The New York Times. In declarations that states verify and the federal government audits, they described themselves as unemployed and receiving no cash aid - no welfare, no unemployment insurance, and no pensions, child support or disability pay."
