See the BATFE... I hear they are handing them out. They also have a waiver from the feds. No questions asked. LOL

“Because of these new “innovative approaches,” people in prison are getting unemployment checks.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The prison’s “client eligibility review process” failed.

A legislative audit released Tuesday says around $150,000 in benefits were paid over the last three years on behalf of claimants who were either in prison or jail.

Auditors had WorkForce West Virginia check for the Social Security numbers of all inmates during that time period. The agency oversees unemployment compensation, and found it had paid 700 weeks’ worth of benefits on behalf of at least 26 inmates.

In one case, the benefits ran for a total of two and a half years.

Food stamps are a farm subsidy too.

Don't pick on Oregon...Washington state is even worse. My son, who decided that life on the streets was easier than actually following simple rules of his apartment complex, ended up in Washington state and promptly received a $200 month food card that he complained didn't let him buy whatever he wanted as the Oregon card did. OK, pick on Oregon.

My father, before he passed away in 2008, owned his own home and made about $1,900 per month through a combination of pension and Social Security.

He was eligible for food stamps, though he never took them up on the offer.

He was in Washington State.......to be honest, I don’t know what the qualification numbers are in Oregon. But, if he was eligible (widower, owned his own home, and making a little less than $23K per year), I’d think there’s a possibility you may be as well.

I forgot to mention, when I said he owned his own home, he had no mortgage. He’d paid it off entirely in 1976. So it was free and clear.

We just got a flyer announcing a pizza parlor now accepting EBT cards.
Soooo, the gov. is now buying pizzas for the folk. Of course I have to pay for mine (and part of theirs).
The local drug store accepts them also.

I remember seeing a billboard somewhere advertising for food stamps. The catch line was something like don’t miss out.
This was in the 90’s.

Saw the guy in front of me buy his breakfast at the Mickey D drive-thru with an EBT card from is not so bad looking ride.

Meanwhile my 87 year old mother falls in the same category as others mentioned in this thread; $1300 SS and pension but owns a house in (upstate) NY and not eligible.
