Donald Trump pushes legislation to cut government benefits.
Washington, November 19 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing through new rules making it harder for people to obtain government benefits.
A new regulation will make it harder for people who are denied disability benefits to appeal, by allowing the Social Security Administration to use its own lawyers to hear the appeals instead of administrative law judges, who are more independent.
Meanwhile, two pending rules would restrict eligibility criteria for food assistance, potentially kicking millions off the government plan.
