Turkey's Erdogan warns Russia of 'consequences' if it continues to violate Turkish airspace

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — More than 1 million low-income residents in 21 states could soon lose government food stamps if they don't meet work requirements that began kicking in this month. The rule change in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program was triggered by falling unemployment rates. But it's raising concerns among some about an influx of hungry people. The change applies to able-bodied adults ages 18 through 49 who have no dependents in their home. It requires them to work, volunteer or attend education or job-training courses at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid. If they don't, their benefits are cut off after three months. Those rules were waived when unemployment was high. But many statewide waivers have now come to an end.
