I need my friends & followers to write the President. We need to tell him to keep hands OFF on #SocialWelfare programs, like SNAP, #TANF, #WIC, #AffordableHousing assistance, #HeadStart, & others.

No. A study of when Virginia added work requirements to #SNAP in '13: there was 53% reduction in #FoodStamps participation, but the effects on #employment were "not statistically different from zero."

No increase in employment, but an big increase in ppl going hungry.

About one meal a day is a mug of oatmeal for me. Another meal might be some fish sticks and another meal… maybe some tuna and mayo with seasonings or a simple bun with some jam and cream cheese.
That’s all I can afford anymore with the cuts & price increases.
Imagine thinking that taking someone’s oatmeal breakfast away from them will somehow balance the federal budget. #snap #FoodStamps

Just reapplied for #foodStamps. I was denied in November of 2022 because I am a #student and don't work more than 20 hours/week, but I just read that the COVID eligibility expansion means that's not actually a requirement through June 10, 2023. Not sure if it'll work this time, but if it does, could get me up to a year of ~$200/month toward food! 🤞

I know there are claims that people on food stamps have extravagant meals. Meals like a mug of oatmeal or a bowl of tuna with mayo. Or my favourite - fish sticks heated in the oven. I know some might scoff at the opulence of these meals, but the truth is that I am one grocery order short of being able to properly feed myself each month and it affects my physical and mental health.
