The email is BS. If she is getting that much in SSDI she was making much more than $330.00 per week. Perhaps she had a high paying job at one time but the email does not indicate that.
I agree.There are too many myths about those on “relief” $330 X 4= $1320.00 monthly X 12 =$15,840.00 yearly. Under todays regs she would still qualify for food stanmps if she was employed and making that $330 weekly..
But that $700 allowance on the EBT card is for a family of 4 and most states restricts the type of purchases to food. 4 years ago a package of corn muffin mix was .25 cents. Today it’s priced at many stores for a buck, likewise all of your can goods generic mushroom soup for example is a buck. As far as steak goes that $700 bucks won’t go very far at todays prices which is around $8-9 bucks a pound if that’s all you eat.
WHAT EVERYONE IS FORGETTING IS THOSE PRICES ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE HAVE BEEN DRIVEN UP BY THIS ADMINISTRATIONS ENERGY POLICIES
Housing allowances vary for the region your living in and once again at near 16 G’s a year she probably would qualify for assistance in that area including energy bills.
That brings US to the $379.00 we are giving her weekly but its not based on that previous employment. It’s based on disability. Now is she a disabled single mother of 4 or is she gamiing the system ?
There are enough true instances of fraud that I don’t think people need to draw up some mythical person who is drawing $$$$ on SSDI plus SNAP plus medical assistance to make the point that reform of these programs is needed.
