[NEWS] Republican bill will reduce free school lunch

If they find that you can't reasonably spare the $3 for a lunch, then you qualify. If they find that you have money but are just squandering it, then no, that application should be rejected.

That definitely sounds like a good plan, though checking all that information will cost taxpayers extra, since every minute spent viewing these tax returns and income statements is a minute you have to pay someone for.
The outcome will probably remove like 5% of free lunch cheaters, of course that's a speculation. Overall I think it might be useless
Keep in mind that the DCF process is going to cost the government money anyways.

It's probably a 50 50 split
If you're permanently poor you're bad with money

you'd never hear about these people - the lack of proof is not proof
