NYS will hand out the maximum SNAP benefits to all

Why not? The economy is so great we need to feed people because they can’t.

Great. Now even longer lines at the grocery store where I get to watch people eat better than me using my money.

Additional SNAP benefits for New Yorkers in February

"Officials said households already near or at the maximum SNAP benefit level at $835 for a household of four, will receive a supplemental payment of at least $95."

What family of 4 spends $835 a month on food? Mine definitely doesn't.

Sick and tired of people that support this nonsense. Always bringing up how old people need it. Only people I ever see using SNAP cards are working age trash. You can't miss them...usually in Walmart wearing PJs toting 4 kids. They have at least one cart heaping with food...expensive name brand food. The sterotype is real...I have seen it many times. I know many store workers who also see it.

That's somewhat impressive. My family of 3 spends way more than that. We're not wasteful - for example, I buy my chicken in 40lb cases and vac-seal everything, staples like taters and flour in 50lb bags, etc - but we do like to eat well and food is always the last thing I cut in my budget.

The real question here is why a program with the first word "SUPPLEMENTAL" is providing funds well beyond the level of supplementing. At $835/month, the program should start with "SOLE" or "PRIMARY".

"
Official says to date, more than $2.5 Billion in supplemental benefits have been distributed in New York in 2021. They say payments will be delivered directly to recipients’ existing Electronic Benefits Transfer accounts (EBT) and can be accessed through their EBT cards.

New Yorkers can check their eligibility for SNAP, or apply online by visiting my benefits New York portal online. Further information on frequently asked questions about SNAP can be found here."

I'm so sick of these handouts.

They should just make this pie chart 28.5% County Levy, 71.5% irresponsible government.

The house I'm working on buying in TN is ~2x the size of my current home, on ~36x more land, and the property tax is only 30% of what I pay here. Unreal.

Free Stuff Army Captains - those are the ones who study where and how to get the free stuff.

What I learned is the SS I get now at 65 will be vary poor at 80 if I make it that far and I will get even more free shit with new qualifications.

All we ever hear out of whorechuls mouth is every freaking slush fund of free stuff to appease her base of freeloaders.

My platoon motto in 1985, taught to me as a boy in the 60s by poor parents that seemingly the depression never ended for them, "Work is work, Do it and like it".

When I visit home are in the middle of 315er land, they all quick to tell me about the free stuff.
