Vote Data for S3136 (94th Congress)


Date: April 8, 1976

Subject: Food Stamp Eligibility

Description: Dole (R-KS)-McGovern (D-SD) amendment in the nature of a substitute bill to revise the food stamp program by reducing the purchase requirement to 25 percent of net income from 27.5 percent, providing for semi-annual adjustment of the standard deduction and the official government poverty index, providing an additional $25-a-month deduction for working households and mandating a pilot project on elimination of the purchase requirement. Reduction of the purchase requirement and its possible elimination will make the overly expensive food stamp programs more costly and increase fraud and abuse.

Result: Amendment Agreed to, 49-30
