State board OKs hiring of more food stamp workers (http://www.statesman.com/news/content/region/legislature/stories/2009/10/03/1003foodstamps.html - broken link)

Quote:
A state board on Friday approved the hiring of some — but not all — of the food stamp enrollment workers the Health and Human Services Commission had requested to relieve a system struggling with application backlogs and processing errors.

The 10-member Legislative Budget Board, which includes Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, House Speaker Joe Straus and members of the House and Senate, gave the commission permission to hire 250 workers. The commission had requested about 650.

After the initial workers are hired, the board will evaluate whether up to 399 more workers are needed, officials said.

Meanwhile, the budget board directed the commission to immediately fill 400 vacant enrollment jobs, which also involve processing Medicaid applications.

Hmmm...at first blush, it looks like an opportunity to get 250+ folks OFF food stamps. Just sayin'.
