It would still come out the same savings wise if not worse with bus passes.
State pays 6k, state also deducts 6k from benefits. Thus cost to state = nadda beyond admin.
With a bus pass the state pays what 540 or so a year. Yet how such programs work a bus pass is not an asset and thus does not count towards benefits. Thus cost to state = 540 or so per year plus admin.
Plus they need to show that they not only have a job or could get a job if they had transportation. They also need to show that public transportation would not work, plus have a clean driving record.
My main issue is that it is only available to families with children. So again another slight F U to those who do not have kids.
