The state said this week it will not participate in a federal program that would provide $120 in benefits to each eligible child, citing administrative hurdles.
If you read the article it has nothing to do with “the state being run by terrorists” - it’s that they don’t have the infrastructure and data collection necessary to do it. They have pledged that they will focus on getting it implemented so they can do it.
McGowin pledged that going forward the state will “focus on implementing the system changes necessary to facilitate participation in summer EBT programs in future years.”
But for Missouri to participate in next year’s program, “the state’s data collection systems need to be addressed well in advance,” McGowin said.
“The current P-EBT programs have required data to be collected from schools that DESE does not normally collect,” she said. “We must then address how the data can be most efficiently and effectively shared with DSS, and shared in a way that more seamlessly integrates with DSS’ benefit administration systems.”
Woody said the state’s pledge to make changes to better operate the program in future years is “the only bright spot.”
Maybe the federal government should be the ones building these data collection services so that the states simply have to opt-in and use the government created facilities?
