A quick check of her Facebook page, as well as the Oklahoma benefits chart reveals that she probably made a typo. She likely gets $100+ a month, not $1000+, as there may be some income coming in from her husband. But don’t let my 2 minutes of at least a half-effort at some fact finding get in the way of overblown Internet outrage. Not necessarily yours-this woman’s post is everywhere. If it is indeed accurate, then outrage is warranted, assuming she only has 3 kids. But it appears it isn’t accurate.
Does her family really need food stamps? Beats me. Probably not because food banks and charity pantries, even in small towns, are everywhere. I donate to ours frequently.
Another quick check of her Facebook page shows that Susan Holmes, also from Oklahoma, also married but not listing any children at all in her page (if she had any she probably would since she does list other young relatives) and also on EBT is complaining that her benefits went down from $638 to $602 per month. So if a woman with no children gets $600 it's not implausible to think that one with children gets $1000. But don't let my 2 minutes of fact checking stand in the way of letting you claim the outrage is overblown.
