I tell you what I’ve been thinking about is the government giving money, free phones, Food Stamps, and all the government benefits as soon as they cross the border and give them free rides to wherever they want to go to their new homes. That’s what I’ve been thinking about.
It's very true they get everything handed to them and we get nothing ty Biden ím so glad ur gone u lied ur way into the white house boy was I fooled for believing in you
I got a letter from my food stamps today.And I get a $20 cut.It's not fair.They think you can live offer.Lisa Mallory least amount of money you can get.I wish they walk in our shoes
They need to give us back the SNAP benefits that they took from us I don't know about anybody else but they took snap from me 3 months ago WHY?? Nothing has changed in my household.. CUZ of a COLA raise that I have NOT received yet ?????
You need to contact them and find out what's going on, we renew twice a year using an SSDI income via online and make sure we send all the bills including mortgage, utilities, info on people in the household, that we are both disabled etc etc etc
I would love that to because Government will say it is there for people and then they give the yearly amounts and people are well below the amounts but still dont qualify, if you find out will you let me know 😂
Get a raise and then they take away your food stamps it's not fair what my rely on Jesus and they're always turns out good one way or another I make it it's hard
Are these SNAP benefits the Federal or State EBT rates? All I know is my State benefits totals $128/ mo. You tell me, with my only income being social security, how do they expect any healthy foods to be purchased with that, if any?
Because of the Cola I just got a letter that I'm losing $11.00 off my food stamps. I'm in Ohio with a Republican Governor. Thanks Republicans for not a damn thing!
@clarencehannon food stamps are a federally funded program. Has nothing to do with your state. Educate yourself...it's the federal government which we have a Democrat president.
My daughter's on SSI. She gets snap benefits and she only gets $233 a month and then she just got a paper in the mail saying that they're going to drop it cuz she got a boost in her SSI check coming up so it don't matter. You'll never get ahead on SSI
@@earlsupplee2207 SSDI either omg this has to stop, get a lousy 2.5 percent increase and they increase everything else so it's like a point 5 increase and that doesn't buy anything
These amounts are for people who meet the criteria for income! I have a household of 3, with two people on ssi, and I’m only going to be getting 140 next year, which has dropped about 30 dollars from this year
Hello Matt they deceased mine because of the raise on my check they shouldn't be allowed to do that!! Thanks for the information and you have a good day 😊.
SNAP not enough it should increase more with cost of food and beverage.not cost of living.emergency cost increase when food and beverage supliers are allowed to charge what they want.
I only received 26.00 in snap food stamps because I get Ssi ! I was told I get too much in Ssi. I go hungry from the 15th of each month till the 9th of the next month!😢😢😢😢😢 shameful
I'm the only person that lives in my household and I don't get no 292.00 a month and I don't draw very much money a month. And in October they took 19.00 away from me, if I was homeless than I would get 292.00 plus when I get the little raise in January they'll take more away from me.
@ I totally understand that that. I see people who work and get more and even people who work has five kids and get nothing. It’s sad how they do us low income people. It’s almost like they favor some over others. Ik it’s not true but sure feels like it.
But whoever's on social security they lower your food stamps benefits My mother is on so security they lowered her food stamps down to $27 but she got a raise this year and her social security
There are those who receive ssi/ssdi/retirement, ect, that have the ability to work and earn extra money should they wish to.. They won't, but they could.. or they'll work for money under the table. If they're caught well then that just makes it more difficult for EVERYONE else. And sadly, even if they're caught its never THEIR fault. It's the person who caught them or the office or, hell, maybe even their neighbors.. but never their fault. I'm not sure exactly what it'd take to fix this broken system.. but a good start would be to cancel ALL those overpriced snap/money cards given to the illegal migrants. Fire and arrest those who came up with this idiotic plan . Be they elected officials or hired people should not matter. And until the problems are fixed there should NOT be any excessively paid politicians or directors ect.Maybe if their wages were cut in half until it was fixed.maybe then these idiots in charge would be as they should be AFRAID of those Americans they're suppose to be taking care of. Afraid because they could be fired Or they could be arrested.. Any and all the officials who have "qualified immunity" needs to be abolished or rescinded so the fear will be in the back of the officials minds as it should be instead of the "I'm better that you attitud" I've received because I dared to be so bold as to ask for help. Seriously.
I got a tiny little 14 dollars a month raise on both ssi and ssa which isn't but 28 dollars a month on both benefits that's just pennies ! But Biden can keep sending billions over to Ukraine! Hell yeah he's really for the Americans who are struggling to keep bills and food on the table ! Right? Nahhh
One description is simply this With an income of 943 was a food stamp of 226.What's wrong with this picture And this is a household of one income one person
292 for 1 senior, no improve .inflation 150 percent Cali. Senior Americans going hungry, only lasts at this amount for 3 weeks eating small meals of very minimal food.
My rent went up by $400-$500. But because I am receiving 1800 in SS and on Sr program path for 3 yrs. I am not eligible for increase in FS. I am only allowed $23 month.
I have been trying too get the food card for months and all the agents are concerned about trying to sell me a policy. I already have A& B I’m 73 retired and the agents are not interested other than selling me another policy. I explained to them I have Aetna.
Although Social Security benefits increase in January, the maximum amounts for SNAP change each year at the beginning of the fiscal year; that is, they go into effect on October 1. The last increase took place in October 2024 and there will not be another one in January 2025.6 days ago
I'm a household of one and I don't get that much. 292 would help me out a lot.Not fair.The system is not for the people.Only certain ones cricket.People get away with everything.I know of you and they make more than I do because I know how to work the system
People on disability are getting screwed it's time to call more people like Mario's brother maybe they can start taking care of the problem with people that don't want to help the disabled people
SS POVERTY SHOULD GET THE MAX AMOUNT, IF YOU ARE IN POVERTY, DON T GIVE US WAY LESS BECAUSE OF OUR SS AMT, POVERTY IS POVERTY...GIVE US (IN POVERTY) THE FULL TOTAL AMOUNT...MAX
You know what SSI marriage penalty is. Our rent and utilities went up. We don't make the maximum of one 😂 The only way you would get a $500+ in SNAP is if you had 0 income. All we own is a 51 year old mobile home. No way this is true.
Food stamps are starving the low income
A few pennies here and a few pennies there that's all we see these days I can't even live alone because I just can't afford it
If you do the math you know we're getting screwed all the way around
Right I get a whopping $23 plain ridiculous a big slap in the face
Thats all i get is 23
Yep $23 here also for 2 adults
If you get too much household income or over the required amount in ssi . They will give you only $23 a month in snap
Seems like it is unanimous. $23.00
sucks.
Me too
People on social security are starving.
I was receiving 200 ebt then down 23 dollars
Mine went down do to cola, I will average about 8 dollars more a month woohoo I can get a water bottle

You need to speak to your caseworker's supervisor.
You need to contact them and find out what's going on, we renew twice a year using an SSDI income via online and make sure we send all the bills including mortgage, utilities, info on people in the household, that we are both disabled etc etc etc
Well, try being just 1 collecting snap benefits!! I’m lucky if I get just $23 a month!!
I got a raise in october of $11 in january it will teduce by $23. Thanks government
I would like to see how SNAP benefits are actually calculated. Some of this doesn't make sense and I don't even receive SNAP benefits!
I would love that to because Government will say it is there for people and then they give the yearly amounts and people are well below the amounts but still dont qualify, if you find out will you let me know 😂
I don’t even get that for me and my 14 year old son 😢 I recieve ssi and still not really making it with that, I still go to food banks
Welcome to my world! But I still don’t get much from my local food bank either!!
@ exactly I get a tiny box and for just 2
I have received $23 for YEARS!!! I am low income.
I think everybody's feeling broke I'm tired of being taken advantage of the number one thing I rely on Jesus it all seems to turn out okay
I don't even get that maximum benefit
Get a raise and then they take away your food stamps it's not fair what my rely on Jesus and they're always turns out good one way or another I make it it's hard
Matt you're 100% right
It's not fair to none of the American people
Are these SNAP benefits the Federal or State EBT rates? All I know is my State benefits totals $128/ mo. You tell me, with my only income being social security, how do they expect any healthy foods to be purchased with that, if any?
It's by state. I believe.
That’s the thing…they don’t care if we the low income people of the US starve or not!!
I only get 54.00 for 2 people
Because of the Cola I just got a letter that I'm losing $11.00 off my food stamps. I'm in Ohio with a Republican Governor. Thanks Republicans for not a damn thing!

All seniors only get 23 dollars pretty rotten
Hope not sick my tax dollars going to that
I get $13 a month, with the cola raise I will probably be told I no longer qualify.
I use to get $20 nothing anymore after the last COLA raise I’m sick of them.
Retired 67-year-old $23 a month! What a joke that’s Oregon for you.
That's what they offer in Indiana
They raise our ssi with the cola but then cut our food stamps because we got that tiny raise. Make it make sense 🤨

Last time yall said it was automatic but I only got $23 I never got the $292 only when I got that it was during the pandemic
My rent went up by $400-$500. But because I am receiving 1800 in SS and on Sr program path for 3 yrs. I am not eligible for increase in FS. I am only allowed $23 month.
Each state is different, They only count rent ,phone, utility for expenses. For the amount you get in snaps , it's sad.
We can't have a fixed system under a inflating economy
$17,000 only $445. per month for food for 3? Yea its rough, Yet on paper they say its more. So someone sending it elsewhere
Don’t they no social security souvenirs we’re all starving
This was news in October when the snap cola was put in effect
Matt because everything is so out of wake are we going to get more because im a seniors and its not getting any better .

You have to remember they go by your income.

Mine went up to $99/month. Disabled senior citizen.
I'm a household of one and I don't get that much.
292 would help me out a lot.Not fair.The system is not for the people.Only certain ones cricket.People get away with everything.I know of you and they make more than I do because I know how to work the system
People on disability are getting screwed it's time to call more people like Mario's brother maybe they can start taking care of the problem with people that don't want to help the disabled people
My food stamps is $70 because I am getting SSI and when u r getting SSI u'll get less
That's not true. I, too, get Ssi. It depends on the bills you have to pay, I get the max 292. Make sure you're reporting ALL your bills.
We are being screwed badly!
The cola
13 dollars for cola in January
2.5%
Thats not right especially when u dont get money on ssd
Also they say im over income. Even though I receive $1800 but pay $ 1136 for 1 bedroom. Thats not even including gas for car, cell, food, car ins.
SS POVERTY SHOULD GET THE MAX AMOUNT, IF YOU ARE IN POVERTY, DON T GIVE US WAY LESS BECAUSE OF OUR SS AMT, POVERTY IS POVERTY...GIVE US (IN POVERTY) THE FULL TOTAL AMOUNT...MAX
