Food stamps for well-off 'offensive'

Cincinnati Enquirer reports:

Some people in Warren County need food stamps - but not someone who has $80,000 in the bank, a paid-off $311,000 home and a Mercedes, county commissioners said Tuesday.

And if they have to fight the state and federal governments over it, they will.

County commissioners recently learned that a woman with all of those assets had qualified for $500 a month in food stamps after she lost her job.

A new rule by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services says food stamp eligibility rules are based on income and no longer take into account "resources," such as savings accounts, stocks, cars or other belongings.
