This article is a lie.
The Dems have assured me that Food Stamp fraud and voting fraud are figments of my imagination.
They told me that we would need to mail in a pay stub and other forms to prove I was no longer eligible, but in the meantime they would take us off as not wanting the benefit. So I then offered to pay back the money for the month my EBT card had gotten extra funds after I started working and they told me there was no way to do that. Just use it and enjoy it.
Seriously, I think they thought I was nuts just for doing what I thought you were supposed to do. Oh yes, I eventually got the forms I was promised and sent in the documents they needed to prove we were no longer eligible for the program.
Seriously, I have to wonder how many people would be as persistent as we were to get off a government program.
FWIW, the monthly food stamp allowance was more than what we spend on food as working class stiffs. And I used to wonder how the EBT card users could buy food we couldn't afford.
Welfare Dept. in our state under Rendell was ordered to “Don’t verify. Qualify.”
