In 2019 I lost my job and ended up on unemployment. At the time my sons were all still living with me, 20, 18, and 17yo. Unemployment +1 dependant was enough to cover my modest mortgage. My other 2 sons paid the utilities and anything else came from my savings account. We received $15mo in Snap benefits.
It’s hard not to slap people who think people with Snap are skating through life.
I was on snap in college and I had to resubmit the paperwork to apply every 3 months. What I got would change every time I refiled. I feel like it had a lot to do with which caseworker I got. Sometimes the paperwork would come in the mail past the deadline for the interview and I would have to restart the process.
Yeah anyone I’ve experienced that talks shit about SNAP has never been in dire enough straights to actually need that safety net. It’s always assholes that have had someone to fall back on, people they can ask for money, or spend mommy and daddy’s money without consequence. I support these systems because I know what being dropped on your ass is like and not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. Nobody, especially children, deserve to go hungry in the modern world.
