The Trump administration is preparing to release a sweeping plan for reorganizing the federal government that includes a major consolidation of welfare programs - and a renaming of the Health and Human Services Department.

The report, set to be released in the coming weeks by the White House OMB, seeks to move safety-net programs, including food stamps, into HHS, two sources with knowledge of the plan told POLITICO.
