Change in SNAP policy for counting income for inelgible aliens
 

A change in this policy is long overdue.  For U.S citizens and eligible aliens, all income is counted however an exception has been in place for illegal aliens.  We should consider their income the same as any other household member who is disqualified.  I enthusiastically support correcting this policy.
