According to a report on Fox News, states in the US are moving to put back requirements that in order to qualify for welfare all able-bodied adults would have to work in order to still qualify.
The requirements were suspended by President Obama when the USA was in a time of recession, but now those requirements are being implemented again.
Besides for the effect it will have on the general community and on the unemployed and unemployable, if New Jersey implements this it would be disastrous for much of the Lakewood community that works the welfare system to the max (legally). If it gets to that point, I am sure the askanim will lobby hard to make sure New Jersey does not implement this.
