If it is dependent upon the minimum allowed to be earned closing out some, I do not think that will affect the number with any significance.
If prisoners can gigure out how to file phony tax returns with pgony SS numbers I am sure the food stamp members can be just as creative.
And the government would not intervene because it would not want to be seen as the reason for someone not getting or continuing their freebies.
The issue will resort to the new norm.....lack of enforcement....hence no fear!

In other words you didn't bother o read the link.
I'll give you a quote that sums it up.
"When companies pay too little for workers to provide for their families, workers rely on public assistance programs to meet their basic needs," Ken Jacobs, chair of the labor center and co-author of the new report, said in a statement. "This creates significant cost to the states."
