However if you aren’t pregnant or lactating, you should find a way to survive. I had to gain 40-60lb while pregnant. It was hard to afford enough food. |

This couldn't come at a worse time. Kids will starve as 41 MILLION US persons affected!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75394950 You are some kind of stupid or can't read? Thats not what it says. Just means that the benefits are going back to pre pandemic pay outs without the extra covid lockdown increase which was about $50-$75. Most will only lose $50 a month but still get about $200 or so. |

What has happened to America people have become so horrible. Mine went from $250 to $44 as my state dropped it early. I'm a disabled stroke victim. Try eating off that! LIAR! |

During the pandemic they deleted income assessment and gave every family of 6 $950 (the max for the group size).. Last Edited by SafeandSound on 02/26/2023 10:22 AM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84014760 United States 02/26/2023 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LIAR! AZ dumped 100 bucks a month off of the "pandemic" amount over a year ago. That was before the Biden inflation of 30-40-50 percent of food. Those that control are using every power they have to strangle Middle America. They don't want a middle class. If you can barely afford your bills, then tremendous inflation, what can you cut? It is in OUR FACES, they want us dead. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7948934 United States 02/26/2023 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Alot of people on SNAP are really struggling and screwed. On the other hand, a lot of them buy all kinds of shit they dont need and dont actually use it for hardship food. I remember when I was on it during the pandemic I bought crab legs with it. The point was for ppl like me whos job legit shut down to have money for food, but then once I started working again way back in 2020 i got off food stamps, that was after paying in most of my adult life and only using them once. Now its been used to help ease the effects of massive food inflation, but we need to wake up to reality. |

User ID: 80117407 United States 02/26/2023 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I for one can't wait for food prices to drop due to decreased demand. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78805891 but the demand would actually increase in the short term as people buy with the money they have left then as supply chain takes effect the prices would continue to stay high imo It's worse than that. When demand drops they start destroying the food to save the price. Like they did at the beginning of the pandemic.
