Don't worry Means testing is in full swing today for all government programs.
We are back to making qualifying for aid, welfare, etc. difficult so people who need it give up.
They got lax during Covid, but not today.
The historical point of Means Testing is to dissuade the people whom need it most from applying. Every Social Worker can go on for hours how the powers at be make qualifying for any help arduous.
It's never discussed publically, because outright fraud is easier to report on, and the average Joe has never dealt with the welfare system, except maybe in college.
I had to lie about living independent in order to qualify for anything other than a Pell grant, and a small federal loan. SOL is up, and I paid my later student loans off completely.
