Notes of Decision Participation in Program
Petitioner, a Food Stamp recipient, was not exempted from the requirement to participate in the Employment and Training Program. His failure to enroll in a qualified program because it required him to disclose his Social Security number was not justified. Kauffman v. Department of Public Welfare, 778 A.2d 795 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2001).
