Good news for so many - and very needed!
It's good that there's at least a couple of results being seen from the stimulus package. Many have been doubting that it's just another government scam but here we are with an increase in food stamp benefits, among a couple of other improved programs.
I was told by Food Stamps that since Im single with no children under 18 I will recieve only 67 a month in food stamps. Florida SUCKS!!!
I am a single mom and raising my grandchild as well and was told I don't qualify for food stamps at all. But if I didn't work and sat home and did nothing I would qualify for all kinds of help!!! What is wrong with that....
