Because it's cheaper than pay salaries to state workers who will spend their time discussing who needs this money and who does not.

If this was 50 years ago sure, but we live in an age of computers. These decisions are strictly financial and tax documents easily give you the metrics which compel these decisions. Deciding who receives the money should be pretty straightforward and a small group of people could quickly and efficiently handle an appeals process at a very low overhead cost easily paid for by the savings accrued by not giving people money who don't need it. Either way, this article is false so it doesn't really matter.
