WHAT ABOUT FRAUD? Mr - . T The USDA June report ; t<r the Senate Agriculture Com mittee said that the percent age of households fraudulent ly getting food Stamps in 1,974 was 8/100 of one percent, that is 8 out of 10.000. The question was asked: “Can able-bodied persons refuse jobs that .have been found for them and collect C7 food stamps instead? ’’ The answer is that ail abie-.bodied persons between the ages of 18 and 65 must register for work as a prerequisite to getting food stamps (unless they are responsible for the care of cttildren or incapacita ted adults, or are a student at least half time at an accredi- ted institution.) If a person refused to register for work, his entire family is denied food stamps. if a job is located for a work registrant, he or she must accept it, except under extenuating circumstances, or his or her entire family is cut from the program. - 4 ■■’ "!*aS§lP» T CATALOG SALES MERCHANT T|S^H| Vff ,* J, tr 9 OWNEO or*) OPERATED by W MR - & MRS - I T - FOX B HWY ,9-E B y p ASS |*' •URNSVIILE, N.
