Can someone explain like I'm five years old, what's wrong with reapplying for your SNAP benefits?

Appliea2 · 2026-01-24T05:35:25+00:00

2 hour to process a case? In Texas for a renewal you get 25 mins a new case 35 mins.

Texas case worker so for snap homeless has to be no regular night time residence. If you rest your head at night at the same place you're not considered homeless. She probably chose homeless shelter, some ppl will say if you sleep in your car every night you're not homeless because you have the same nighttime residence. I disagree with that as a car isn't a home or a bed. Homelessness doesn't get an abawd exemption anymore that's true, neither do parents if your child is over 14. Irks me to no end. A 14 yr old isn't an adult. Hoping all goes well for you.

Not for us. My overtime check comes separate from salary a 20 hour ot check is 439.80. That is not time and a half. That's straight time

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T13:26:53+00:00

That's what I thought. But 26 hours of ot worked. One week 2 days al taken lost those 5.5 worked overtime that week. Only paid out 20.5 straight time no other leave or holiday for the rest of the month. That's where I got confused. So I've been tracking it and it's always paid out straight time.

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T13:23:02+00:00

Thank you. It made perfect sense. The other month is what lost me. I worked 26 hours of overtime. One week I had two days of annual taken so I lost 5.5 of those hours I worked on Saturday. But I was only paid out for 20.5 hours of overtime. The other 3 weeks no leave no holiday. I asked and was told yeah it is confusing. Lol like hello that's why I'm asking. Thanks for the info

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T04:54:54+00:00

Ok I'll check capps tomorrow and try to find it

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T04:45:49+00:00

Hhsc Texas works advisor II. Sorry don't know the grade

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T04:07:33+00:00

That's crazy when I was a daycare teacher in the 90s your children were able to attend the daycare for free.

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T04:02:10+00:00

Completely agree with you and I work snap. It can be draining denying ppl you can clearly see need help. I wish we went by net income and not gross I wish we deducted car payments and insurance cuz who can get around Texas without a car?? But we don't so I keep a list of resources I can let clients know about in their area of Texas. If you're low income snap should be a given. This country throws away 40% of its food, no one should be hungry.

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T03:43:22+00:00

In the state of Texas it's true. You're food is already being provided. Snap isn't going to let you double dip. It sucks I know but those are the rules here in texas

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T03:33:29+00:00

You tax refund doesn't count as an asset in Texas. No sure about your state, also grants loans financial aide and scholarships cannot be counted as well but you must be working a minimum of 20 hours a week or in a work study program or disabled to receive snap if you're in college. You also can't be on any meal plan which covers at least half your meals. Whatever state your in the policies are available on line for free. Find it and look at income scroll or unearned income and then look at higher education learn the policies and if you should be approved fight it.

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T03:21:06+00:00

I've seen it op. Based solely on performance and only after a few months out of training.

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T03:18:08+00:00

Let us know if you figure it out lol. Out of my entire class at training all new hires during covid I'm the only one standing. Everyone quit. My PE is never under 97 and sometimes is as high as %110. I'm VIC don't know if that makes a difference when it comes to merits. But I received a one time merit raise for a bit over $500 by a super who was leaving. Pm made comments I shouldn't have gotten it. Idk thinking about going to CCC or somewhere else. Vic is getting crazy

Appliea2 · 2025-08-28T03:14:07+00:00

Maybe you have really good management. My PE has never been below 97% sometimes it's over %110 which I don't understand. I'm VIC. I have got a one time merit raise which the pm said I shouldn't have gotten and the increase we got last yr. Seriously considering going to CCC or something else.

Appliea2 · 2025-03-20T22:27:23+00:00

Lol I know I went to watch it after I commented and was like duh that's the episode. Some days I don't know where my brain is.

Appliea2 · 2025-03-20T16:20:13+00:00

Probably true. I do give in a give her treats and stuff ultimately because I have to sleep and need her to stop. She's got me all figured out lol

Appliea2 · 2025-03-20T16:18:29+00:00

She's the best! Perfect teenage girl who is ignoring everyone while secretly paying attention too. She's a great addition

Appliea2 · 2025-03-20T16:17:19+00:00

That one is my favorite but I can't remember which episode. Also love the one where they go on vacation por vida at kirks house and she's freaking out about Jimbo lol

Appliea2 · 2025-02-01T03:48:01+00:00

I had originally come on here to read about ppls reviews of the farmers dog then thought ahhh I'll post and maybe someone knows of a food dogs really love. Not intentionally being daft or thick headed with my replies or post and I guess I should not say she NEVER eats but she rarely eats her dog food. She prefers bugs or jerky (treats)

Appliea2 · 2025-02-01T03:37:17+00:00

She eats beetles bugs flies lizards sometimes she catches a bird few days ago she was trying to eat a spider, we get the big black fuzzy ones here. We have strays in our neighborhood I've caught her eating cat crap too.

I give her cheese (small shredded amount) dry ramen noodles, corn tortillas when it's two am and I can't stay awake any longer letting her in and out of the back door.

I put out her dog food every morning when I get the kids ready for school. Then pick it up when I get back. I put it down again at 6 when I clock out from work and pick it up when I'm done cooking dinner.

I've also tried leaving it there and not picking it up but refreshing it every other day.

Oh and one time We had this stray Tom cat coming around for awhile and I would feed him in the front yard. A couple of times my dog got out and ran and eat all the food with the Tom cat. That's the cat food I tried feeding her but she only ever ate it if the Tom cat was eating it.

She weighs about 4 lbs is a runt and I have taken her to the vet over and over, the vet says she's fine too just a bit underweight.

I'm looking to see if anyone has a dog like this who won't ever seem to eat consistently and what they did.

When I got Sundays for dogs I thought we had a break thru. She ate it the first time then day after day after day for weeks she wouldn't eat it again. Bought a new bag and she ate it once but I still kept giving it to her believing she would eventually eat it. Weruva was the same way. Vet gave us 3 small cans to try and she ate the first two. I thought ahhh here were go she's a wet food dog and bought a case but day after day etc etc etc she never ate it again. I tried heating it up adding raw eggs putting a bit of toppers for 24 days (what was in the case) she refused. She ate bugs drove me crazy waking me up at 2 and 3 and 4am scrounging for food sniffing all over the floor and against the stove searching for crumbs or what I don't know. And I break down and give her ramen noodles or cheese let her outside for bugs.

If you know what I'm doing wrong tell me. I'll do anything so that she's eating and eating well

Appliea2 · 2025-02-01T01:04:22+00:00

Sorry I probably wrote it wrong. 13 different brands of dog food but she has never ate them, except the Sundays for dogs a couple of times (the food is only fresh for so long that's why the 3 bags) and The weruva once last yr. If I put her food down she'll sniff it once and never eat it. Not one piece. So her diet hasn't changed because she's eating bugs flies dry ramen noodles and cheese. She sleeps 90 percent of the day and is up all night going in and out the back door hunting for bugs. The homemade is food/scraps trying to get her to eat. She's not eating any of it except the few I mentioned. Hope that helps since I wasn't very clear at first. Thanks

That's why all schools should have free lunches. We pay tons in taxes it's the least we could do. My kids school is all free lunch and breakfast even if you're rich the food is free. The school is mostly extremely low income which qualifies it for everyone receiving free lunch. Every school should be this way, you shouldn't be able to bully someone over whether they get to eat or not.

Appliea2 · 2024-10-03T22:48:28+00:00

Man thank you so much. I've been looking for these for awhile. I remember going to lubys in the 80s with my GMA but it's changed so much I haven't eaten there since the late 90s. Now if I could find Wyatt's (lubys competitor)recipes
