I agree with #SharonParrott, president of #CBPP:

"The agreement puts hundreds of thousands of older adults aged 50-54 at risk of losing food assistance, including a large number of women

"A large share of low-income adults in this age range are in poor health

“While the new exemptions are positive, improvements for some don’t justify expanding to others a failed policy that will increase and deepen poverty”
