In some respect. particularly the work requirements. the bill has become even more burdensome. NACo particularly opposes the following welfare provisions: 1. The bill ends the entitlement of Aid to Families with Dependent Children. thereby dismantling the safety net for children and their families. 2. The eligibility restriction for legal immigrants goes too far. The most objectionable provisions include denying Supplemental Security Income and Food Stamps. particularly to older immigrants. In fact. by changing the implementation date for these provisions. the bill has become more onerous. NACo is also very concerned about the effect of the deeming requirements particularly with regard to Medicaid and children in need of protective services. 3.
