IL Lawmakers want to impose work requirements for SNAP, Medicaid – WICS (Springfield)

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, Democrats created a culture of idleness and dependency, as evidenced by the 11.4 million jobs open in this country, 11 million work ready adults that could fill those jobs, and billions of dollars in increased spending,” said Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis. “If families have any chance at keeping up with skyrocketing inflation, which is raging above 8 percent, we have to incentivize work – and that starts with requiring able-bodied SNAP and Medicaid recipients to join, or rejoin, the workforce."
