Mich. bill would ban welfare debit card use at ATMs in casinos

By John Wisely, USA TODAY

Welfare recipients have long been banned from using their benefits for alcohol and tobacco. Lawmakers in some states are eying another vice — gambling — a move some advocates for the poor see as unnecessary and unfair.

Michigan legislators are debating a ban on using public assistance debit cards at ATMs in casinos. In June, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, issued an executive order banning the practice. Minnesota and Arizona also ban it...

Laws such as these stigmatize people collecting benefits, said Marc Cohan, litigation director for the National Center for Law and Economic Justice.
