I need help debunking this email from a co-worker [View all]

She is saying that President O waived the work requirements to receive food stamps.

The Official Policy Directive issued July 12, 2012 allows for the traditional TANF work requirements to be waived or overridden under the Obama administration. Official memo TANF-ACF-IM-2012-03.

Thanks everyone for your response....
