Shop now if you depend on food stamps or cash assistance from New York.
Neither will work starting early Sunday morning. The system will go down at midnight and isn't expected to come back online until noon Sunday.
It's being shut down so the state can switch to a new company to run the program. It will take at least 12 hours to do the switch. Medicaid benefits are on the same card, but they will not be affected by the change.
Nearly a third of the city's residents rely on food stamps, according to U.S. Census data.
Toni Maxwell, a spokeswoman for Catholic Charities of Onondaga County, said her concern is that the switch won't go smoothly and will end up taking longer than expected.

If that is true, buy guns. You might need them to protect yourself from the rioters.
I’ll believe anything anymore. Voting to arm Mccains buddies defies belief, so this is an equally plausible scenario. Our forefather would be turning launch keys by now..
Duh, Duh and DUH. The man's a genius.
Prudent not to write the sign in cursive.
You can repel looters in style with Ruger's GSR (Gunsite Scout Rifle)!
Conveniently chambered in .308 Win. (and now .223 Rem)
Florida did that a while back.
I had to qualify on the Ruger Minj 14, almost every 3 months for 25 years. I think I would prefer it, over the one you showed me, simply because it is semi automatic. I just like semi autos. We can get more lead down range quicker.
Thanks for the ping!
I’m glad someone else is thinking this. I’ve got a horrible feeling this is a dress rehersal for something. I don’t knew why but I have an awful feeling something is going to happen shortly, on either Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur.
51!
It is rather interesting. Why call up the NG?

I’m old enough to remember when commerce shut down from midday on Wednesday until Thursday morning in South Carolina. That tradition didn’t die out until the seventies but only the older people remember it now. Some think you are crazy if you mention it but it was the norm. Banks were open on Saturday morning to make up for being closed on Wed. afternoon. You could not buy much of anything after five PM the other days and nothing was available on Sunday. If you didn’t plan trips carefully you could wind up out of gas somewhere with no place to buy any until the next morning and you didn’t dare run out on Saturday night, you would be stranded until Monday and you had to have cash money to buy gasoline anywhere, there were very few places that accepted any kind of credit card, open account credit was available to local people but travelers were out of luck. Amazingly we managed to live under such primitive conditions, in those days anyone who did not have food in the house to last for at least a week was considered mentally incompetent. The idea of going to a grocery store just for some snacks never occurred to anyone, you might buy some soft drinks and crackers along with the regular groceries and you might stop at a store for something if you were on the way home from work but I don’t think I ever heard of anyone making a trip to the store just for drinks and snacks.
They don’t get up till noon, so they won’t miss a beat unless they go to the store after the bar closes.
A team practices the plays they will make in the ‘big game’. This regime is practicing the plays (see Boston, South Florida, Alabama, New York). They even make the cheerleaders practice their parts (see flash mobs, St Louis, etc, etc).
Thanks for the ping, Laz! Are you .... and all of us sooooo screeeeeeeeewed????
