USDA Proposes Tighter SNAP Work-Rule Waivers; What Lakewood Recipients Should Know Federal officials are proposing tighter standards for waiving SNAP work-related time limits, while putting into regulations changes Congress already made to who must meet those requirements. The USDA proposal, published Tuesday, would generally require states seeking a waiver to show a recent 12-month average unemployment rate above 10 percent. It would also restrict how states draw waiver areas, limiting them to defined areas such as counties and commuting zones rather than broad groupings.

Wednesday: Veterans Day, Honoring All Who Served; What’s Closed Wednesday, November 11, is Veterans Day, the annual federal holiday honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The observance recognizes veterans who served in wartime and peacetime. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors military personnel who died in service, Veterans Day is an opportunity to thank all who served, including the veterans living in our own communities. The holiday traces its roots to Armistice Day, marking the end of fighting in World War I at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918. In 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor American veterans of all wars. READ MORE ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/wednesday-veterans-day-honoring-all-who-served-whats-closed/

Letter: LSTA, Who Is Looking Out for Lakewood Parents? I want to bring attention to an ongoing problem with the Lakewood Student Transportation Authority (LSTA). I strongly suspect our family is not the only one dealing with this. We have five school-age children, and for years we have been trying to get their bus stops coordinated at one location instead of having them scattered across three different stops in our neighborhood. The frustrating part? The buses already pass directly by our house on every route, and they already stop at the location we are requesting. We are not asking for a new route, or an additional stop. We simply want our five children from the same household picked up and dropped off at the same existing location, which the bus passes anyway, and they don’t share their stop with a neighbor.

Senator Andy Kim Co-sponsors Bill To Lower Medicare Eligibility Age To 50 U.S. Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey has joined a group of Democratic senators in introducing legislation that would allow Americans as young as 50 to buy into Medicare, expanding coverage options for millions of older Americans facing rising health care costs. Kim joined Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin in introducing the Medicare at 50 Act, which would lower the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 50 for those who choose to purchase coverage through the program. The legislation is intended to provide an additional health insurance option for more than 58 million Americans between the ages of 50 and 64, a group that often faces high premiums and out-of-pocket expenses when purchasing private coverage.

IRS Reminds Families: Some Cash Donations Can Be Deducted Even If You Take The Standard Deduction Families who take the standard deduction may still be able to deduct some of their cash donations when they file their 2026 federal tax returns next year.

The IRS issued a reminder about the provision today as the 2027 filing season approaches. The benefit begins with tax year 2026 under the Working Families Tax Cuts. It is not a new law announced today, and the deduction reduces taxable income rather than providing a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.

Leaf Pile Dangers: Don’t Park On Them, And Keep Children Away A pile of leaves along the curb may look harmless. But it can hide a child from a driver’s view, put children in the path of collection equipment, or ignite beneath a parked vehicle. With leaf piles lining neighborhood streets, parents and drivers should keep two important safety reminders in mind: never park on dry leaves, and never allow children to play or hide in piles near the roadway. A vehicle’s hot exhaust system, including its catalytic converter, can ignite dry leaves underneath it. Turning off the engine does not immediately remove the danger, since those parts remain hot after the vehicle has been driven.
