Insure all recipients of government assistance against charges for obtaining that assistance--- Using government cards

Created by L.B. on January 29, 2013

Provide for the receipt of government assistance thru the use of cards or direct deposit to be at no cost to the recipient. Banks should provide the service at no charge to the recipient. Any charges to obtain the funds provided by the government should be covered either in the disbursement, or in the state and federal banking contract. These charges should be covered by the provider, not the recipient.
