SNAP food stamp eligibility is changing: Do you qualify now?

Starting Oct. 1, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is raising its income limits, meaning people who previously weren’t eligible to receive grocery assistance may now qualify.

It should be doubled. People demand steak and seafood. Rice and beans make me noisy

I still don't qualify because in nyc they only look at a month's worth of income and my income fluctuates. So I can be fucked yet again. I'm a single mom and work full time. Yet there's absolutely no help for us. Ridiculous.

I get a whopping $23 a month in food stamps, how stupid is that? I figure if I save it up all year then I can afford xmas dinner. They can keep it for all I care.

Hopefully we can give the new asylum seekers 32.7% more of a benefit. This would help them eat a balanced diet complete with organic grass fed beef, fruits, and vegetables.

They use to give us food stamps earlier for the holidays but now they don’t so me and my child have nothing to eat on Thanksgiving 2024.

No increase for those on Social Security, however.

[TheAmericanPlug]

You have migrants to think for the increase

[henrydavila]

Work for your own food how about that!

[jramsey]

Using food stamps tells everyone that you cannon even feed yourself-so while in line at the grocery store look around at the people who are feeding you

I don’t know why, but I don’t let me have anything ever need the mushroom I’m 60 years old. All I get my human and I and I’m raising a kid. No nobody let me know y’all tell me the state I did and they won’t do it they claim my draw I like to see them live on what I live alone drawing nowadays I’d like to see thatcause I don’t smoke and grow my room half the time I know why Girlfriend don’t live a regular life cause I gotta take your men and take every day. I keep my truck running and take care of it.

[oldsckool]

Your math is wrong 👈 12.5% for a family of 4 is much higher than that 🤦

[hillbillyhippie]

Able bodied people under retirement age should not be getting benefits much less a raise

[Elperdedor]

Can you get food stamps if there's a warrent issued on you ?? Asking for a friend.
