Food stamp backlog in Florida leaves needs unmet.

What really makes me mad, is the last year or so they have been advertising on the radio telling people to see if they are eligible even if they think they may not be. If they were going to spend the funds advertising for them, you would think they would have enough manpower to take care of the applications.

Re: Food stamp backlog in Florida leaves needs unmet.
I lived in Fairfax, Virginia a few years ago. When I first moved there I got a thick booklet in the mail all about the Social Services that they had there. The Booklet was filled with phone numbers to call for a host of needs.

At one point I had a temporary need for some assistance between jobs - the cost of living was so high there that one could not go without. I started calling various phone numbers. Many of the numbers went to a Message that said the phone number was not in order. One phone number was for rental assistance, That one worked, when I finally got through after several days. They said that I would be placed on a "list". This list was so long that my placement would take two years before I could take the next step.

The next department said that I could come in for some Food Assistance. After having to get a ride from the unemployment office - get on a bus and then walk the remaining 3 miles to get to the office, I was told that I was denied anything because I was 5 minutes late for the appointment. I stood my ground and argued of how far I had to come to get there. They finally allowed me to come in. I got an $11 Food Voucher to the most expensive Food Store in the area. One had to go and get this Voucher approved by the Manager of the Store.


What a joke this deception of "Social Services" were!! Apparently, this is just a ruse for those who want to believe that these funds actually go to the people.
