As someone who is unemployed, I do receive SNAP. BUT I also budget and buy things in bulk to freeze them for later, and to have a stock of ingredients to make food. I don’t just buy ready made meals that are 1 and done. If you cannot cook, learn. Get healthy ingredients that won’t spoil, and secure the other ones so they don’t expire. I know how to mix ingredients to make healthy meals. Milk, produce, and breads I pick the cheapest options and I’m also a coupon clipper so I get the most bang for my SNAP bucks. It’s all about preparing for this sort of situation. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Everyone, PLEASE get this straight: Funding #SNAP has *NOTHING* to do with the federal government #shutdown. They are two entirely different issues. • The emergency funds to pay SNAP benefits are ALREADY IN the USDA's current, eexistingbudget. The $5 Billion is there, in the #USDA account, ready to be distributed to states. Trump and Republicans refuse to authorize it. Trump even removed the text from the #OMB and USDA websites that say so. • #Georgia is sitting on $21.5 Billion OF OUR tax dollars in surplus and rainy day funds. Gov. Kemp refuses to use any of it to pay for the 1.4 Million Georgians who rely on SNAP to feed their families. His excuse is that if we use tax money to help the people who paid the taxes, it will lead to a chain reaction of other Georgians expecting our state government to help them. What gall! Taxpayers expecting their taxes to benefit taxpayers! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Please don’t cut off my SNAP. I am almost 75 and not able to work. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

I believe that everyone that ton SNAP, with acception of over 65 should have to apply every month! If there not using their benefits as they were awarded for no matter the situation they need to be removed permanently! If they are fraudulently applying they should be permanently banned!!! If you’re able bodied and younger than 65 and have a disability you should receive benefits! If you’re single and able bodied get your ass to work!!! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

In 2020 I had to give up my CDl because I had a Pacemaker put in. I lost an income of $1,800 a week,My wife and I was denied SNAP Benefits because she made $1.00 too much.We had to start going to Food Banks just so we wouldn’t go hungry.Why is it based on household instead of individual circumstances.? #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent on Holloween junk food using taxpayer, not tax receivers, SNAP benefits. Same will hold true during the December holiday season. SNAP funds must only be used for life sustaining foods. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Lazy people need to get their lazy ass together and look for job! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

America. Let's have a talk. I understand that people think it's unfair that there are these people that get these benefits and you always question, "Why do people get these when I can't get them" or "Why can these people get these benefits while I have to work 50-80 hours a week just to make ends meet." Let's just get something straight. A huge majority of these people are people that aren't reasonably able to work those types of hours either due to having children or because they are on social security and only allowed to work a certain amount of hours a week. These are people, that work either in places like Walmart, Sam's Club, and other varying companies that doesn't pay a true livable wage. (I know in certain areas of the country they make way more than they do in other parts of the country, I'm not naive just making a general point.) 95% of the time, people who receive SNAP are in the lowest part of their lives where the only thing they can do is lean on these benefits to even be able to eat. Let's stop looking down on these people and realize that at the end of the day, you are looking at someone who is down on their luck and just need that helping hand to try and survive. Food is expensive. Healthcare is getting ready to skyrocket if the ACA credits are not extended. Food is overall unaffordable for many people and that's where SNAP comes into play. Just please stop acting like they are a problem and just realize they are a symptom of what's truly going on. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
