Members BlessedChristianlady8 Posted October 12, 2013 Members Share Posted October 12, 2013 We do have a printer. We applied for food stamps a few years back. They said we were eligible. When we went to get them, it was only ten dollars worth. We left without them. Other people were driving up in new cars and getting food stamps. Probably more than we were offered. When we had our food stamps the car we had to purchase in a emergancy in 06 was put in my FIL name maybe some people does the same thing, its easy to judge if they have new cars, maybe they had a job a month prior too getting food stamps but yo u don't know the issues they are having. I think having a nice car or somewhat nice home is not an indicator being rich they are just struggling. My sister lived in a two story expensive house three car garage and she was put on food stamps for awhile due to falling behind in payments and stuff , things happen its really confusing at times when these things happen... I don't like food stamps because when we were first on them back in 2005 after moving too another state , they said that the 150 dollars for two people was just to help us not to live on. Well , we increased through out the years but some of the years we lived without them , when we got on them for the last time for two years from 2009-2011, we increased to whooping 336 dollars , that is over double the amount we got in 2005 and people wonders why our country is the way it is. Anyhow I don't wanna hijack this thread for food stamps and welfare, I just annoyed at the system ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted October 12, 2013 Members Share Posted October 12, 2013 I understand the annoyance completely. With both of us on disability, unable to work, you would think more would be offered than $10.00 worth of food stamps. That would only buy a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a couple packages of Ramen at most. Certainly not enough to live on for a month. But that is the most they said we were eligible for.

We are not big eaters anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
