(MissouriNet) Changes to Missouri’s welfare assistance programs become law today (Monday).
Arnold Republican Senator Mary Elizabeth Coleman sponsored the changes that will move to a one-page form to apply and renew for these government benefits.
She says another part in the bill will gradually reduce these benefits as a participant’s salary increases.
Coleman says the bill is “a massive leap forward in reforming the welfare system to make sure that people are given a pathway out of poverty rather than incentivizing them to stay in it.”
