Wyoming in Bottom 10 of States for Providing Certain Welfare Benefits
“Wyoming is one of a few states that also cut off benefits immediately if work requirements aren’t met while also not giving benefits back until families comply with the requirements.
Several other states like Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, and Missouri only cut off a portion of the benefits, up to 50% if single-parent households don’t comply with work requirements.
Wyoming also has a lack of exemptions when deciding to take someone off TANF benefits that are more restrictive compared to other states.
There is no exemption made if someone is sick or incapacitated, if they’re taking care of someone who is sick or incapacitated, or if they’re pregnant.”
