More residents in Brooklyn and the rest of the city will now be able to sign up for food stamps.Governor Spitzer (D-NY) announced the federal government has approved changes in the program's guidelines. According to the governor, families with an adult working 30 hours a week or with two adults working 20 hours each will be allowed to apply for benefits online. Families would previously have to qualify in a face-to-face interview.The state will now also get $200 million annually in federal funding for the program.
