ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A new rule proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is alarming Alaska food security advocates who say it would make it tougher to waive work requirements for food stamps.
The Anchorage Daily News reports Alaska has held a waiver for years to exempt recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program from a rule requiring able-bodied adults to participate in an employment program in order to get assistance.
The proposed rule would make it harder for states to get that waiver.
