So we went from $109 in food stamps to $16 now in food stamps which doesn't make me happy. My husband makes too much money and now we have to watch our budgeting a little more. That means he will have to pitch in as needed. When we move, hopefully because my rent will go up, my food share will go up. I am crossing my fingers. But in the meantime, we will make ends meet one way or another. Always do. Even if it includes the food pantry once in a while which I am due to go soon. Maybe next week for sure. It sucks but nothing we can do about it. Oh well.

I don´´t earn enough either but I am balancing things out. So sorry you are having to go through that. My Sister only got to earn Three British Pounds Sterling above the limit but they refused her any help so she had to keep working and working all day long.
We don´t have Food Stamps here at all but you can sometimes get monetary help it all depends. Hope it all works out for you to you benefit.

Sorry to hear that, but its better than nothing.
I am unemployed & currently have no income but I do not enroll for these benefits as I'd want it for people who actually need it.

Once your rent goes up, so will your food stamps. Mine went from $20 to $194.

That's the way the state is. I only got $10 when I got them. They don't care if you eat or not.

That is quite the drop. I am sorry to hear that. You can't get too much for $16.
