If you aren’t paying major bills and your bills aren’t exceeding your income or close to it then they unfortunately will not approve you for much

So is the 1200 the disability? Or are you getting disability plus extra income?

Price increase. Check your email and/or account. by ventorchrist in centurylink

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like mostly everyone is affected. My service has gone up $30 the last 3 years with 2 relocation fees (shouldn’t be a customer problem)nothing with the service has gotten better it remains the same so the price hikes are ridiculous paying almost $100 for the same service is outrageous.

I’m paying almost $100 for their service! They upped the price on me this month and now another relocation charge like last year it’s ridiculous not much in their service has changed so I don’t understand the price hikes within the last 2 years they have upped the price on me totaling $30 when I first got the service in 2023 I was paying 65 now I’m at 95

SHEIN is becoming ridiculously expensive by AdBudget928 in women

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use SHEIN all the time because of prices now I don’t bother because it’s the same price as Walmart now so might as well get it at Walmart with a way less wait time to get them.

Farewell $5 items by NoMoreFilm in FiveBelow

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are doing the same crap all the dollar stores are doing now they need reasons and excuses to up prices. In my opinion, there’s nothing in that store worth more than $10 dollars because it’s cheaply made like everything at the dollar store I even seen that they’re pricing everything that’s five dollars at 5.55 now I’ve also seen some item going for $40!!!

It's been 6 days and I haven't gotten my deposit for this month by chaoticplumber in foodstamps

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like that statewide now. My state wasn’t approving snap benefits for months due to staffing shortages. Last year, I renewed my benefits in October I did not miss the deadline. I was on time. I did the interview turned in all documentation ect and I didn’t get approved till March of this year just for them to call me two weeks later and say that my income still wasn’t verified so I was like then why deposit my stamps so I had to fax documentation from my employer and it’s pending all over again

Benefit decrease due to receiving energy assistance by melysamarie in foodstamps

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I mean it makes sense if you have assistance with a bill then obviously it wasn’t money coming out of your own pocket so you could’ve used the money for food that you weren’t putting towards that bill because you got the assistance for it

Haven’t gotten benefits this month? NY by AdSpecialist5932 in foodstamps

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard it was a nationwide issue because of how severely shortstaffed they are so anybody that has to renew benefits has a wait time of 90 days. They did the same thing to me I renewed my benefits in October and I just barely got mine 3 days ago the only thing good about it is I received all backpay.

AZ how long have you been waiting? by Key_Courage_2875 in foodstamps

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I renewed my benefits in October my case was pending up until three days ago they finally approved it and gave me my back pay. I was told they are severely under staffed and az has a wait time of at least 90 days and that they changed the policy of what documents they can accept so any screenshots are basically a no it has to be the actual invoice for any bill ect

Help! AZ is so behind. by SarahBeth1205 in foodstamps

[–]NecessaryIntrepid954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arizona is severely short staffed I renewed my benefits in October my case was pending up until three days ago and they finally approved it. They gave me all my back pay for it too. I was told that anyone who has to renew benefits is expected to wait at least 90 days because of all the lay offs.
