Associated Press Thursday, June 24, 2010 17:43 PDT Sacramento, Calif. (AP) --

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has issued an executive order barring California welfare recipients from using state-issued debit cards at casino ATMs.

Thursday's order followed a report by The Los Angeles Times that found CalWORKS cards were used to withdraw cash in more than half the casinos in the state.

The newspaper reported Thursday that welfare recipients have withdrawn more than $1.8 million in taxpayer cash at casinos since October.

It also gives the state Department of Social Services seven days to come up with a plan to reduce other waste, fraud and abuse in the welfare program.
