It seems obvious to be that a company should have additional taxes imposed on it if its has employees that qualify for financial assistance. Put them on the hook for the costs of supporting their employees one way or another.
Or you could just raise the minimum wage to a point where employees earning it are earning too much for food stamps. That’s how the UK does it. They lower the benefits bill by putting the burden on businesses rather than the state.
Usa employers did the math they fire most full-time employees and reduce staffing and only hire part-time workers walmart back in 2011-13 when I worked there only had 8-10 full time employees which were managers and even some department managers would only get 32 hours a week to avoid giving benefits or health insurance. Every one i knew who were full time worked there for 10 + years. Even if you increase minimum wage they will find ways to reduce costs in staffing so you really need to penalize companies

McDonald’s and Walmart will lobby against that.
