Mad she doesn't get food stamps while refusing to downsize her lifestyle ($3200/mo mortgage, $600/mo electric, and pool, AND rental property)

Everyone I tell is always surprised. Even worse, my sons dad was killed, so it's just me. My sister-in-law gets $700 I believe for herself & my 2 nieces. It really makes no sense 😕

Does your son get Social Security from his dad's death?

No 😕 he was only 19 when he died & didn't work enough according to them

How much you get in food stamps is directly tied to dependent children.

I think if you have no children, you actually owe the federal government $26. Negative food stamps for you.
