The state said this week it will not participate in a federal program that would provide $120 in benefits to each eligible child, citing administrative hurdles.
Missouri’s education department has largely cited administrative hurdles to dispersing the benefits — which requires coordination between schools, the education department and social services department. The state needed to gather eligibility information about students in a form it didn’t previously collect and share data across platforms that didn’t necessarily share the same format.
Holy shit that’s depressing. Hundreds of thousands of kids will go hungry in Missouri because the government doesn’t know how to set up EDI?
Yeah, but that’s the whole point of integration as a service. You take the forms, map the data, and nobody has to change their procedures. The biggest headache will be data security and access control, but hopefully they have that figured out already or they are already fucked.

Them: “we need small government with less bureaucracy! Let’s dismantle all the useless parts of government and eliminate all those pesky regulations.”
Also them: “we can’t help the kids because we haven’t kept track of them because we can’t be bothered.”
Sounds more like people didn’t want to change forms which is even fucking more sad.
