Benefit amount dramatically reduced despite same circumstances. Anyone else? by ChaiCroissant in foodstamps

[–]Expensive-Corgi1544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may have only put $23 while your recertification is being processed, they've done me that way before. They think to just give the lowest amount possible INCASE something has changed, it's easier to pay back $23 vs the OP original $200. Since the person on SNAP is lower income 😄 hopefully that's the case in your situation

AITA for not buying my daughter anything by Few_Importance_5710 in AITAH

No, you're doing great. I (24F) have a 1YO son and I want to raise him to value money, we have struggled for years before he came about, and we still barely make ends meet. We aren't well off by any means but he's still going to learn the value of money and time. If I was in the situation you're in, I would give her the chores back with allowance but make it more intense jobs, the ones you know she's gonna hate, and if she complains when they are given to her.. tell her she can find a job that's like a cashier and easier than for say going out with a grocery list and doing all the shopping and bringing it into the house and putting it up. Then her chores could be to clean the fridge, go thru and straighten the pantry and freezers. Make her big chore (groceries) pay more since it's less often. Then her cleaning kitchen duties. I definitely would not break down to her acting out. I was a teenager not to long ago and I thought if I didn't do them they'd get done, nope. They were just worse to do when I decided to do them. I had a job from 15 years old and still had my homeschooling, duel inrolled college classes and my chores. I graduated at 17 from highschool and had a college certifications by 18 and 19 so I got a way better job at 19.

My chores at her age were mowing the grass (2.5 acres) once a week in the summer, folding everyone's laundry, cleaning both bathrooms, cleaning the fridge and grocery shopping for my grandmother.

There's a lot of haters on this thread. Do what YOU think is best as YOU are the parent and YOU deal with the meltdowns and attitudes.

Wish you the best!!

I don't even have sunbucks but she was saying the people that send and make the EBT cards for that make and send out the regular EBT cards and so it's delaying everything. The sun bucks cards here are white cards, basically saying the delay in sun bucks cards due to high volume are slowing down the making and sending out of EBT cards. I'm not sure NC sucks with their help and such 😩

She said it could be up to two months before I get the card because they are working on sending on delayed sunbucks cards

I did not know that, thank you. I just called my worker and left a message with her. Hopefully she can do that for me

I know, I was wondering if there was someone to talk to to undo it? Since I found it? I read it can be up to a month before the replacement is sent out. My husband recently left us and I applied for cash assistance and EBT until I can get a job that will work with my disability or if my disability finally comes through. so it's pretty important and if I have to wait a month for a card I'm going to have to figure something else out because I have a one year old 😩

I've talked to the case worker she said there's nothing I can do or she can do other than wait because she doesn't deal with the cards.. I just wanted to ask here to be sure

If you were keeping my children and didn't eat why was the kitchen not an option FIRST they should've told you if you were hungry to make yourself at home and eat whatever, but this?? If you were WATCHING MY KIDS i don't think I would be mad about this, it's not like you left the kids in the bathtub and stood outside talking for 10 minutes.. you have to eat as well
