Sounds good, but testing for welfare is much more important.
Employers pay into a fund for unemployment benefits. And a person has to have worked for a certain length of time to collect if laid off. Quitting or getting fired for cause does not entitle one to unemployment benefits.
Also, the benefits expire, whereas welfare goes on forever.
I think this is a much lower priority than the welfare side of the coin.
As a taxpayer, having my taxes go for food stamps, then the schools “have” to give free food, including now breakfast, lunch AND dinner AND giving the students back packs to take home in Friday’s so “they will have food to eat!”
I’m well aware as to why the teacher’s unions glommed on to the “free lunch scams,” so they can claim so many schools are “high risk” to claim higher and higher $$$$$ tax dollars from Uncle Sugar, now Santa Clause, is exactly why.
Everyone’s on the US Santa Clause gravy train but the US citizen taxpayers!
