I know. The COLA goes to HSD and HUD not us. I want to see a breakdown of how much both of these programs recouped each year.

This video is my story as far as social security goes. Most of the information for food stamps doesn't help me much but thank you for sharing this information. I get basically $130 a month in food stamps and it's not enough to eat unless you eat ramen noodles and hotdogs mostly and buy them from Dollar Tree! But I am grateful to not be in the $23-75 dollar group which is even worse! I received the same letter from Social Security claiming I owed them enough to take my check for almost six months! I was able to successfully negotiate a payment plan but it cut my check below what I needed it to be. The SSA has tried TWICE this year to cut my check off and I've been receiving it since I was about 16! (The first time by saying that all of a sudden I'm not disabled anymore (I'm 52 and have received it since I was about 16!) I appealed it. Then when they agreed to give it back to me pending the outcome of the appeal they sent me the overpayment letter and tried to cut my check off for almost 6 months! My rent is $400 a month. If I lose my house there is nowhere in Georgia (I live in Georgia) where I can rent my own place for that amount. (1 bedroom rentals here start at over $700 a month). The section 8 list only opens for about a week every 4 years. (PS I need total knee replacement in both knees, I can't walk a mile, or stand for long periods. The only job I'm probably capable of is a receptionist and the last time I tried all the employers wanted experience! How do you get experience if no one will hire you to get the experience? Most of the doctor's offices etc. give receptionist jobs to someone they know (the old saying-it's who you know rings true).

Several years ago, a friend got a notice of wrongful overpayments & had to repay it. Since she was working & the sole support of her ailing husband, I advised her to settle the debt via garnishment, since this had a collection limit of 15% of her paycheck. They continued to pay the lower amount of her benefit during this time. It took her nearly 1-1/2 years to pay it back, but it was much better than paying it back in 60 days!!

Back in 2001, I was working for a gas station earning appx $55,000 while on SSI. I am disabled. I received a letter about 3 months after doing my 10 year review and they SSI said I owed $25,000 in backpay since I was working and didn't report it. I explained to them I wasn't aware I had to report to them about my other (Job) earnings to SSI, I have been always truthful when filling out the paper work or visiting in person. Anyways I talked to a lawyer and he said file bankruptcy and you won't have to pay a cent of it back. of course I would have poor credit for the next 10 years. and I did lose my benefits for 8 years. But I did get back on it. Under Michigan rules if you make less than $2,000 year you qualify for "State SSI Benefits" even though your disabled.

Food banks and home gardens can help provide food for people. Even if we don’t have an outdoor garden, lots of produce and herbs can be grown in pots and plastic storage containers indoors. Seeds, roots and cuttings can be grown from leftover fruits and vegetables. Homegrown compost created from food scraps can help to enrich and increase garden soil. Friends, families and neighbors can trade homegrown produce and herbs with each other. Government help is unreliable and can easily and abruptly be cut off with little to no notice.

Put money in the people's hands,not the government

They don't need an attorney they need to read cuz they can't do that and they're going to start taxing social security when we already paid taxes on it before it was taken out that's double dipping.

People must understand, all government assistance is now run by computer programs not people.

I am a 56 year old woman living in N.C., and I am over 400lbs. I also have diabetes and arthritis in my hands knees and hips. I almost died from COVID-19 laying in my own bed because I didn't have any medical insurance. I have never married so have no spouse or children. No I do not have a live-in partner never have and at 56 and weighing this much, that boat has sailed, if you know what I mean. However I do live with my 80 year old mother and my full blooded sister who has been deemed disabled since she was two years old, with retardation of the brain 🧠 and seizures. I went on food stamps first because I didn't have a job because I was needed at home to help mom with my sister as Mom's health decreased and so has my sister's as well as my own. But always before my 50's I have worked a job. My first job was at 14 years old. I have always been a plus size full figured child and woman. And now that working on concrete and grabbing with my hands at work has caught up with me. I became disabled and applied for disabled social security in 2021 after I asked a doctor at the free clinic if he thought I could work or was I disabled or not? He took one look at my legs alone and said yes ma'am with those legs there's no way you can work on them. So my social worker helped me get an appointment and interview with the SSA staff, and after seeing two of their doctors and a looney doctor. They put me on SSI at 700.00 dollars a month. I rent a room from my mom and have my own Frigidaire 400.00 dollars a month. Bought an old Van for 400.00 dollars with my first large sum payment and got insurance on it, just liability which is 51.00 dollars a month. My food stamps were reduced to 191.00 monthly (after COVID-19). But last month in November they reduced my food stamps down to 145.00 a month. Why? Because they were going to start giving me 780.00 dollars in December. But now you are telling me that the food stamps might be raised in my state to help feed me "maybe, someday"? So I will be getting in January I guess because I didn't get it on the first of December a raise of about 45.00 dollars and because of that I now can only get 145.00 dollars of food stamp help with prices climbing like crazy. At 400.00 for rent leaves me at 380.00. Then 50.00 more or less each month for car insurance leaves me at 330.00. And three months ago I got a cell phone 📱 and tablet combo from T-Mobile for 72.00 dollars a month because I didn't know anything about a free Government one until after I got the combo in the first place. So now I am at 258.00 dollars left over to buy food, gas, nonfood needs, and over the counter medical supplies. I get Medicaid and thank you God Almighty it pays for my medical treatments and my medicines. But I see up here every day where other people can get up to 6,200.00 dollars without even a job to pay for food and rent at stores like Walmart and Target 🎯. But if you are on Medicaid you are crap out of Luck. They will not help Medicaid or Medicare old sick and disabled people because we're now old and useless. How about all those years when I was young and healthy. Paying in every paycheck and year fatefully my share of taxes to the State and Federal Government like a good little slave. Now I am not even worth a full Social security disability check?? Yeppers I am whining about the injustices of it all. I just pray that my Van doesn't break down this winter or I will be without a ride. I am tired of whining now it doesn't change a damn thing anyway so good bye and God bless you.

@foodstampsnow

7 ай бұрын

The current general age requirements for SNAP benefits is 16 - 59 years old. The general work requirements include registering for work, participating in SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) or workfare if assigned by your state SNAP agency, taking a suitable job if offered, and not voluntarily quitting a job or reducing your work hours below 30 a week without a good reason. If you are age 18-52, able to work, AND don’t have any dependents (children) you will need to meet both the general work requirements and an additional work requirement for ABAWDs to get SNAP for more than 3 months in 3 years (the time limit). The ABAWD work requirement is the age requirement we mention in the video. It increased from 50 to 52 years old in October 2023 and will be increasing again from 52 to 54 years old in October 2024. Hope this helps clarify! Please let us know.

Hi Stella, wow! Thank you for sharing your story. That is truly terrible! You are right - they do not care whose lives they impact with their mistakes. It is truly cruel. The government has zero accountability and that is our biggest problem. I'm happy you were so diligent with your record keeping. Such an awful situation. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday!

Last year we got $23.00 for 2 in our house hold Than Snaps raised it to $32.00 for 2 in the family. Now starting in January 2024 food stamps will knock us back down to $23.00 Again😟

I'm so sorry to hear this! Did they give you a reason why your benefits would be going back down?

Wow this is just so wrong on the part of the social security dept. The SSA should investigate these people that won the lottery and get them to pay back what they got.

It says the increase in food stamps in NjJ and DC is expected to increase but its not official yet

@foodstampsnow

7 ай бұрын

The increase is official for New Jersey and Washington, DC. The increase for DC is not official for the entire 2024 year. Right now the 10% monthly increase is only promised until September 2024 - however, they are trying to make it permanent. Hope that helps clarify. Please let us know!

None of those amounts are right for new York. We're on social security and we were getting $123 snap but we just got a letter saying we are being knocked down to $90 because we got a small cost of living raise in our social security. There's just the two of us and we get less than $2000 a month so we're below the poverty line.

For a person born somewhere else is pretty well schooled on where to tap into the charity

The minimum snap will not be raised on the national level. Some states are increasing, but that’s up to the state. The rest of us? $23 and a cut in January because of cost of living that Medicare and rent will take.

Should count ssi an social security

Yeah, well, I turned in my research application before it was time to turn it in. And they say that I'm not gonna be able to get any straight answers until January. The 11th which today was my food stamp day to drop the money on my card December the 11th. But I didn't get anything. And they said it could take up until January the 11th. So now what I'm supposed to do with the other 3 people on my house. How am I going to feed them

Does any know if Social Security is going after care facilities for over payment? Just wondering because a lot of care facilities take a persons Social Security as payment for care.

The Social Security trust accounts were raided by the government for use elsewhere, that money should be returned to the Social Security Trust account, then it will be solvent for many years to come, problem solved. People are following the rules and paying in and keeping the SSI running, the government should follow the rules too and put the money they hijacked for other projects back.

Indiana is getting a raise but only a $12 that's it no more than that. There is no help in my state for Christmas in the town I live in for people who have kids it's all for the teens and that's all I done hard about this.

As of now, Illinois has not been approved for extra food stamps for 2024. The extra Link Card benefits would have to be state-funded - like New Jersey and Washington, DC. If anything changes, we will be sure to post an update!

My State no longer grants a landline Lifeline , But I got a free Supposedly Smartphone Free a Hot Pepper and it Bites . I got some $10.00 Internet for 4 Years and Now I get Free Internet and I had been eligible all that time . gosh . and My EBT is Only $78.00 and I expect that to go down or stay the same as we are getting the 3.2 % COLA on SSI in 2024 .

I'm sorry to hear your state no longer participates in Lifeline. Do you know if your state participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)? This may be something worth looking into as well. Also, consider applying for the heating and energy assistance program in your state. That may help as well! Wishing you a happy holiday!

Thats a great program ❤

What is the age considered elderly?

I haven't got any extra food stamps, they cut mine down and I have no idea why. I can only get about 24 items of food with my food stamps. I haven't bought meat in forever so how are you suppose to live when food is so high and they wanna cut foodstamps. 24 items a month.

what about seniors in nyc low income

I have an idea for the SSA and the Government about the Lottery Winnings. Penalize both the Lottery companies and the individual winners with huge monetary penalties if the Lottery companies do not notify the SSA and inform the winners that they will be notifying the Feds, the SSA, as well as the IRS about their winnings. If the Lottery companies are held accountable to enabling gambler's dysfunctions they might help keep them out of the Federal Governments hip pockets.

In some cases this increase your household’s resources (assets) depending on how the loan is done. We suggest contacting your state SNAP caseworker directly to find out if this will count as a resource for your household.
