Maine began enforcing a new requirement for food stamp recipients: work for your food or your free food will be taken away.
Since Republican Gov. Paul LePage’s administration began enforcing the new work and volunteer requirements late last year, about 9,000 non-disabled residents have been removed from the program.

SOME DO NEED HELP
this is ileagle…the snap program is a federal program not a state one and the feds set the standards not the state, the state can not add to them……this will cause a law suit and the benifits will be restored..
Nothing wrong with this law !! you just wait liberals will start the rumor that Maine kicked Grandma in a wheel chair off food stamps
Stupid is what stupid does .or you can’t fix stupid.
Great idea !
9000 ppl x 800 a month x 1 year = $86,000,000 saved …… get a job!!!!

All States should stop welfare for anyone who is not disabled
