密歇根州众议院议长阻止参议院7100万美元食品援助法案,因SNAP福利暂停

摘要

众议院议长马特·霍尔批评参议院7100万美元的食品援助提案,主张通过现有预算资金立即提供救助,以应对联邦SNAP福利暂停带来的影响。

密歇根州众议院议长马特·霍尔宣布他将阻止参议院提出的7100万美元食品援助提案,称其为“虚假”、“表演性”且“政治化”。霍尔认为,参议院的做法将延迟对因联邦补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利暂停而受影响家庭的援助。

“当我们面临食品银行需求激增的危机时,人们无法获得这项福利,他们正挣扎着支付账单和购买食物,”霍尔表示。他强调需要立即采取行动,并指出他与州长格雷琴·惠特默合作,拨款450万美元给密歇根食品银行理事会。

参议院的计划以27票对4票的两党支持通过,旨在分配5000万美元用于补充EBT卡,1000万美元支持食品银行,1000万美元用于购买密歇根农场的剩余农产品,以及100万美元用于州内的“双倍食品券”项目。然而,霍尔认为该法案所需的立法程序将延迟援助的发放。

由于联邦政府持续关闭,美国农业部已通知包括密歇根在内的各州,11月份的SNAP福利将暂停。这影响了近140万依赖该计划的密歇根居民。对此,霍尔和惠特默已指示拨款450万美元给食品银行以应对紧急需求,并计划根据情况评估并可能分配额外资源。

总检察长达娜·内塞尔已与其他22位总检察长一起对美国农业部提起诉讼,认为暂停SNAP福利是非法的。霍尔呼吁联邦立法者解决政府关闭问题,以防止对关键项目的进一步干扰。
