Limiting withdrawals to $25 a day does not “help” poor people. Not everyone lives near an ATM, and this could require some people to make more than a dozen trips to the ATM each month. Also, the fees for each withdrawal could add up to 10% of more of their money each month. This is dehumanizing, and I think the Republicans in Kansas who did this ought to be ashamed of themselves.
“The legislature placed a daily cap of $25 on cash withdrawals”. The article does not mention that an EBT card can be used in almost any store for any amount for allowed necessities. What would people be using cash for that they couldn’t get with the EBT card?
