All individuals receiving WIC or food stamps are to pass a drug test(s) before receiving their benefits.

Created by D.M. on November 13, 2012

When receiving food stamps, WIC or any other type of government assistance individuals are subject to reception without verifying drug free persons. In a country where 90% of employers have in place a "drug free" policy I believe the US should do the same to ensure that persons are not taking advantage of government aid and using extra monies on drugs or illegal substance. A law like this would keep funds more readily available for persons who actually need them, drug free : Single parents, low income families and disabled persons.
