Consequently. it would not be useful. and would be unproductive harassing. to subject such individuals to supplemental verification procedures. The amendment also prohibits States from denying food stamp aid as a result of a failure to verify something that is outside of the control of an applicant to verify. As an illustration of the operation of this provision. we frequently hear allegations that employers of migrant laborers refuse to provide check stubs or other evidence of an employees wage status. Certainly it would be a gross injustice to deny aid to a migrant laborer and his family in such circumstances. We. therefore. prohibit States from denying food stamp relief when this occurs. Poor people should not be denied aid solely as a result of their inability to produce verification that is outside of their control.
