S.C. Rep. Corley calls for drug testing for food stamp beneficiaries
One South Carolina House member wants adult family members receiving food stamps to be drug tested to help eliminate fraud and “wastefulness” within the program.
Rep. Chris Corley, R-Graniteville, filed four bills in December 2015 that, if passed, would require more eligibility standards for residents receiving government benefits and limit shopping to more “cost-effective” purchases.
Corley said he hears from his constituents that many people are selling their food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, for drugs.
