I am supportive of this legislation, though I wonder as to why we don't just amend the original law to make the BIG an opt-out, rather than an opt-in, program. It would save us a lot of time and money.

I would support that but certainly it is much more traumatic...

How do you mean?

I mean it could cause some outrage of some welfare recipients just like what happened with Obamacare. Changing the BIG to an opt-out program would certainly be in some ways unpopular. It would require people to adapt or face a difficult bureaucratic process for getting back inside its previous program.

Fair enough. We could always make it opt-out for all future recipients.

If they file paperwork to gain services, how is that automatic enrollment?

How is it not? Do you have anything legitimate to contribute to these pieces of legislation, or did you just run for Senate to ask inane questions and slow the whole process down?

anybody have any idea how much this will cost if it is successful?

$60 million, perhaps?

Nixcome doesn't cost significantly more than the amalgamation of other forms of welfare, iirc.
