A new U-S-D-A rule that limits the ways that states can sign people up for food stamps is seeing stiff opposition. More than 118-thousand Wisconsin residents would lose SNAP benefits. Senator Tammy Baldwin says it bans states from engaging in ‘categorical eligibility’ which means recipients can no longer apply for SNAP at the same time as applying for state assistance. Baldwin says the most recent Farm Bill specifically avoid applying that rule. There’s already a lawsuit against the measure from a number of states.
