I realize that, my neighbor tried to get food stamps but she made "too much" money off of her social security check at age 80. Something like 600 a month, which barely covered her property tax bill. I guess it is a blessing she didn't have to pee in a cup.Is it possible that she was on food stamps before the laws were changed? I don't understand how anyone living in a shelter ever got food stamps...don't you need a permanent address?Then answer me this....
Were these people working? (Most all people reciving TANF have to be holding a job)
Were these people single mothers with children? (The Majority of TANF recipients are single mothers...they have children)
Were these people in a work training program? (Those not working while receiving TANF must be in a work training program)
Were these people felons from their illegal drug use? (No felon can recive any TANF benefit)
If they were not any of these people above, then i stick by you being wrong or you seeing the extreme exception to the rule, somehow....?
Remember, Food Stamps is a separate and DIFFERENT PROGRAM and is NOT TANF/WELFARE.
food stamps is NOT a welfare/TANF check...and i do not know much about food stamps, other than i know it is not the same program as WELFARE/TANF....they are two different programs....you do not have to be on Welfare/TANF to qualify for food stamps....you can be a full time worker and still qualify for food stamps....
And, in Florida at least, college students can get food stamps if they work 20 hours a week...even if their parents pay all their expenses.
