MIAMI (AP) — State figures show that hundreds of welfare applicants in Florida have declined to take drug tests that have been required for the assistance since July.
Thirty-two applicants failed the test, 7,028 passed and 1,597 didn’t take it, according figures released Tuesday by the Department of Children and Families.
Proponents of the law have suggested applicants would be deterred because they knew they would test positive.
