Her SNAP Was Suspended Because Her Rent Was “Suspiciously Low”

A recently divorced woman had her SNAP suspended because the reviewer claimed her rent was “too low to be credible.” She was renting a tiny room from a coworker for a symbolic amount, which led the reviewer to suspect unreported income and demand bank statements, landlord verification, and even her coworker’s paystub. She said, exhausted, “I just left my marriage. I barely have a place to stay. What income could I hide?” Ironically, the person before her openly admitted their landlord was a relative helping them out, yet their case was approved without hesitation. #HousingVerification #SNAPSuspension #SingleMothers #EligibilityIssues
