Stearns County Human Services Division Director Janet Goligowski joined me on WJON today. She talked about who qualifies for Food Support and Refugee assistance.
The state Department of Human Services is notifying 42,500 child care assistance recipients and providers that they might lose their benefits if the government shuts down July 1st. In Stearns County, Human Services Administrator Dave Rooney says there are hundreds of families affected but they have to wait for the courts to rule before they can make contingency plans.
