Reference no: EM131097260

Welfare recipients would rather receive cash benefits than in-kind benefits, (medical care, housing assistance, food stamps), but much of the welfare system provides in-kind benefits. Is there a reason for not giving recipients their welfare benefits the way they want to receive them? Would it be better to move to a welfare system that provides benefits only in cash? Also, the restaurant industry is currently lobbying congress to allow restaurants to accept food stamps. Thoughts?
