According to the bill's critics, an estimated 17,000 families with children could lose benefits as a result.

Republicans hit back with the truth about the Democrats’ false claims in a Facebook note:

TRUTH: Maine’s change impacted Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependent children and those people with significant liquid cash assets. Individuals only “lost” benefits if they failed to work 20 hours a week, volunteer 1 hour a day, or be enrolled in training and education, or if they had multiple vehicles, boats, ATV’s or more than $5,000 in cash.
