We have to fund the program as it stands... increased demand because of decreased income should be met under the existing program through requests for budget increase by normal channels, if it's needed. The program never had time limits in my day, unless that's changed, and there is no way you could take them away or deny the eligible. We have to meet that need, but why would you defined that as stimulus, which implies something MORE added to the program. And that's where I get confused-- and concerned. One article I read made it sound as if they were contemplating increasing the benefit to get more money into the system. That makes no sense to me: the allotment is based on studies and statistics on what a family needs, and on a sliding scale based on income and expenses. Just increasing it arbitrarily seems bizarre and ill-conceived. If that's what they are doing. I guess I could try to research.. yawn.
