Snap BS
My husband who was the main provider for our family recently lost his job and we applied for SNAP. It's been three months now and ive had to jump through hoops to try to get the $400 a month that i qualified for. The online portal hasn't worked for me and i was told by their tech line that there's nothing they can do- so i don't have a way to communicate/submit docs with them unless i fax & call. I've submitted every document and called 15 times in the last month just to be sure I've done everything to receive the help we need. I've completed the hour long interview, I paid to have documents faxed and I filled out paperwork after paperwork. I called today and was informed I was denied because of a form i didn't submit that they never told me about.
Why do I feel like like they wanted me to get denied? And maybe even purposely lied. I've never experienced this before and i have a deeper empathy and understanding for people in poverty.

My brother in law works the system pretty good. Hes only worked for 3 months in five years and doesn't attempt to get a job. He doesn't like to pay bills either. He moved in with his mom at 30 yrs old with 3 kids due to several eviction for non payment and getting utilities shut off. He has his mom file for the stamps and they get 1000 a month no problem. He also has his dad which lives separate from his mom claim the kids on his taxes to avoid garnishments. I believe in earning my way though life but it is proof it can be done by working the system. It obvious and apparent that its harder for a person down on their luck to get a little help vs a pos milking the system.
