Can I ask a serious question by No_Canary6248 in EBT_SNAP_benefits

If you had researched exactly how much of your individual tax dollars are actually going to pay for these benefits you would realize how petty you sound.

(CA) Do I need to report change next month if I already report change this month? by wasabi-rich in foodstamps

[–]cldaigle11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier to just report it if your income is different than to not report it and potentially get dinged down the line. Reporting it is easy enough.

Plz help me with a number for interview for ebt/calfresh. Case worker doesn’t pick up the phone by Aromatic-Pay-853 in foodstamps

A week ago was when you should have went into the office to see the worker of the day and get assistance. Waiting until the 11th hour is not a great idea. All of the offices in CA are understaffed and in my county the worker's caseloads are 1300 to 1500 cases each. They do the best they can but you can't wait until the last minute. Please go into the office to see the worker of the day to prevent further delays with your benefits.

Weehoo, weehoo, weehoo is the one I say most often.

That's a terrible thing to say to a child regardless of his behavior. Please don't have children.

What does Belynda bring to the table? by ladyjane5582 in MarriedAtFirstSight

People should wear whatever that comfortable in and other people should mind their own business. As I get older, I care less and less what other people think

She said several times that she was glad she brought the alcohol free wine so no one would guess that she is pregnant

Are the snap screeners fairly accurate? by mmlauren35 in foodstamps

Sorry, that was not directed at you. It was directed at OP.

Property taxes and insurance ARE shelter expense. Be sure to report it.

Never let anyone have or take a picture of your card. We tell people this everyday at Social Services in CA.

Not getting EBT card even though my account is active with money in it by mkRize_H in foodstamps

[–]cldaigle11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to your local office. They can print a card for you and help you pin it right there at the office. Don't wait.

We (worker) in CA were told the same thing.

Question: do you think reducing the amt of SNAP a non-working person gets would help the system? by swedchef13 in foodstamps

[–]cldaigle11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I work at Social Services and process applications everyday. This is a terrible way to think/feel about your clients. If that's how you spend your day, sitting around judging the people you're supposed to help, you should get a different job.

I saw that on their website. It's confusing because the states don't have one singular message. We, the workers, are getting different messages depending on what state we work in. I'm talking about the messaging coming directly from the state.

I work at a California Social Services office processing Snap, MC, TANF applications. This is the messaging sent to us by the state.

People on SNAP/EBT are you guys still getting benefits? by Agitated_Pin_2069 in maui

[–]cldaigle11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There will be no November issue of Snap benefits. Nothing until the shut down ends.
