I applied for SNAP last year, submitting pay stubs, lease, and birth certificates for my kids. The system flagged “mismatched info” and suspended my benefits. Customer service repeated mechanically: “System determination.” That month, I bought food on credit, calculating every meal. Neighbors noticed my struggles and looked at me differently. I wasn’t committing fraud, yet the system treated me like one. Where is the fairness? #SNAP #BenefitSystem #IncomeCliff #PolicyReality
