Bipartisan bill would prevent millionaires from taking unemployment checks - eviltoast

Um, how isn’t this a thing already? (Millionaire=people who earn $1M yearly)
Sorry for Fox News, but it’s the best source with this headline and it says it’s bipartisan so we should probably be good.

    In the 90s, I didn’t qualify for food stamps. I had a minimum wage job, but the house I lived in had a washer and a dryer, which meant I was too rich for food stamps.

        Not exactly related, I was a college kid looking to move out of my parents’ house back in 2007. I applied for Section 8 housing as my minimum wage job at the time technically met all the qualifications for it. I wasn’t allowed to receive it because I was in school at the time. You can’t be poor and go to college at the same time if you wanted a place to live, apparently.
