welfare

Michigan is beginning to require minimum work requirements for able-bodied recipients of food assistance, and the results of the welfare drug testing pilot program are in.

Michigan's decision to drug test welfare applicants was met with both cheers and jeers from residents, with opinions falling mostly along party lines. Now that we have some preliminary results of the pilot program, I think it's safe to say that both sides are surprised at the outcome.

Welfare recipients in Michigan could soon forfeit their benefits if they do not remain drug free. Earlier this week, the Michigan House approved a pilot program that would force “suspicious” individuals to submit to random drug tests in order to maintain their benefits.

If you want to get on welfare in Michigan, prepare to pee in a cup.
