I tried those food stamp qualification calculators just for the heck of it.
If you live alone and are unemployed using your unemployment to pay for rent and health insurance you don’t qualify . I used average rental cost and insurance cost I looked up online.
How is so many people on this? I couldn’t figure out the formula. I even tried adding two kids to it.
There are something like 50 different entitlement programs
AFDC, WIC, there are programs to your utilities, section 8 rent vouchers (can be $2,000+ a month in some places)... on and on
