How is this supposed to work? ( public aid in the USA)

Asked by trailsillustrated (16804points) May 23rd, 2015

I read that the state of Kansas has passed a bill that welfare recipients can only withdraw $25 out of an atm. These machines don’t dispense 5$ notes so what are they supposed to do? I also read that someplace restricted their purchases in that they can’t buy seafood and potatoes? Is this real? These rules seem incredibly punitive to me. Why are they doing this?
