JCAR tables attempt to invalidate ODJFS SNAP rules after debate over ABAWD exemptions The Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review debated Ohio Department of Job and Family Services rules interpreting SNAP work requirements and whether ABAWD exemptions should be assessed independently.

I delivered a whole school drop-down day just on #FoodWaste last week. 270 pupils learning about the value & impact of the food we eat, alongside how & why to avoid waste. A joyful, fun day but #FoodSecurity hardly gets a mention in the national curriculum in England 🙄

There should be no need for food banks. The social safety net should ensure everyone can afford to feed themselves. #foodsecurity #socialsafetynet #poverty

Senate subcommittee hears Department of Health request to fund eligibility systems, maintain virtual contact center amid high SNAP error rate Department of Health Commissioner Heidi Hedberg and Division of Public Assistance officials told the Senate Budget Subcommittee the FY27 amended budget asks for funding to sustain eligibility systems, the virtual contact center and staffing after pandemic-era backlogs; officials warned a 24% SNAP error rate could force the state to share benefit costs in coming years.

Want UK food security & to improve food production opportunities?‼️ Then we should build more food processing infrastructure!
