[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

No, but if you “want” to gather welfare, then you must meet the Government’s requirements, such as “earn under X amount of money” or “be drug free”. Now they can search your tax records to see how much money you earn as their enforcement of the first requirement just as they can search your urine to see if you are drug free as their enforcement of the second requirement.

The government cannot force you to give up your Constitutional rights except in cases recognized by the Supreme Court or if you join the military. This case does not qualify and I guarantee this law will be struck down in the Federal courts.
