In my plan, it's not for Food Stamps. It's for Welfare Cash Aid. Food Stamps can't be used on drugs, so that should still go to those who need it. But EBT Cash can be withdrawn for physical cash which can then be used on drugs.

I think someone should have to take a drugs test to claim welfare benefit as the claimant won't be able to use it to buy drugs and he/ she won't be able to afford the drugs so they might quit, however this may lead to the claimant to commit crime to get the money so it is a double edged sword.

SunflowerGaming : Well the belief is that if someone tests positive for drugs when they take a drug test
that they would be denied benefits like food stamps, unemployment checks, or free housing (the housing part I'm not familiar with). So when someone tries to get food stamps for whatever reason, if the drug test comes back positive they don't get the food stamps as the government would believe that they are using the food stamps/money to buy drugs when they should be buying food. Now while a drug test will stop some welfare abuse, there is a risk of wheather it is constitutional and if the money gained from denying benefits is worth the expenses of the drug test.

I definitely do.  I think welfare is a horrible program, but if it is a must, there should certainly be a drug test involved.  I think too many people nowadays know how to manipulate the system and get money even when they don't need it.  This means more people trying to get money for more and more nefarious things.  We can at least make sure someone is clean in order for them to get welfare, and it'd be lovely if they had to do a drug test every so often to make sure they are STAYING clean.

Oldschool41 : That makes sense. Thanks for explaining that to me.

Singelli : You're right, in a sense. Some people need welfare, like my older Brother and his Wife, they're unable to work so they have to have it to feed their children. But drug tests aren't a bad idea, for those who would use it for things other than food.

Certainly, I always wondered why the Government never did before. Now I'm not saying that welfare is a bad thing, in fact I think it is good for families who really need the help but it is constantly being taken advantage of. I think that if you have enough money to go out and buy whatever drug you are on, then you have enough money to support your family and you don't deserve welfare. If anyone here has ever bought drugs before (not saying that you have, or I have and not trying to offend anyone) then you know that it is not cheap, it takes a lot of your wallet and for people to have a family they need to feed but choose to buy the drugs that ale them is just ridiculous. That makes them a bad parent, and they should not be on welfare they should stand up and stop buying the drug and get back on their feet and take care of their kids or wife or whatever family they have, simple.

I believe a drug test should be mandatory, because we are giving them the means to survive, and so they should prove that they are making the best use possible of those means.
