Ohio would screen and test welfare applicants for drugs under a bill expected to be introduced.
The proposal from Republican Reps. Tim Schaffer and Ron Maag would create a two-year pilot program in three counties that have yet to be determined.
Adults applying for cash assistance would have to complete a screening. If that shows they likely abuse drugs, they’d need to take a drug test.
If they test positive, then they couldn’t receive benefits. A third-party could accept the payment on behalf of the children and dependents of those who fail the tests.
