Question. I made 9 an hour at my old job. I did my renewal for foodstamps. They cut my foodstamps from 353 to 147. Is that even possible? She told me its for me and my daughter. And she asked me did i pay any bills where i was staying i told her thats all she asked me. She didnt ask me if i had any other bills. I just think 147 is crazy.

You could also apply for Wic they help out a lot with groceries that are healthy for both you and your daughter. They’ll even help with formula if that’s what she drinks

I have to go in Monday and tell them my husband not working anymore so I can get my cash assistance back or if I have to I will re apply for food stamps and cash assistance

Anytime I’ve dealt with state assistance they’ve always taken every single bill I had into consideration. My rent, phone bill, insurance, everything. They’ll also take into consideration the dads income unless he’s not on your daughters birth certificate. Are you still working at the place with 9 an hour? If so you should get more than $147 a month if that’s less than your states minimum wage.

They only count like rent & utilities as actual bills so depending on your check amount plus what you have to take out for just rent & utilities that’s what they concluded you have left over each month to spend they take 30% of that and give it to you in food stamps. So even if you have like a car note/insurance/cable/ cellphone they don’t care about that because they claim it isn’t a necessity. Which it’s kinda shit so I feel ya.

It goes by your yearly income. So it looks like if it is just you and your child then they are basing it off of that and current earnings🤷🏻♀️
You can ask for income/household size chart. I am sure they can provide you with that info. It is to help and not cover the entire. Also, other utilities fall under luxury depending what they are.

If you go over the income for your household size they will drop it down.
You can try appealing the decision
