The SNAP Card Controlled by Someone Else

While volunteering, I met a single mother whose SNAP card was held by her ex-partner. “He’s better with money,” she said. She had to ask permission to buy food, with no control over how benefits were used. SNAP assumes fairness inside households. Reality doesn’t. #SNAPControl #HiddenAbuse #WelfareDesign #RealLifeImpact
