Changes in the excess shelter deduction could harm the working poorthose families that pay over half their income for housing. Other changes will severely limit food stamps for adults without children who lose their jobs. Another yellow flashing light for me is the bills restrictions on assistance for children of legal immigrants. who have not yet obtained their goals of citizenship. Another yellow flashing light for me is the bills provisions for meeting the needs of children whose parents reach the 5year time limit for benefits and still do not have work. I fought for a requirement that States must assess and meet the basic subsistence needs of those children through vouchers or other noncash assistance.
