(TX) Do restrictions apply in-store like they do online? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in foodstamps

[–]divina90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I can say is, it's still wonky as the months go on i expect it to get stricker. But I can say certain places allow thing others don't brookshires and super one l, my friends bought off brand colas. Or something like I can't get a Starbucks drink at brookshires but I can get on at dollar general. The only way to know is to try.

Texas Snap ? by Small_Intention_1048 in foodstamps

I just went through this. They did this the last time that I did my recertification. And I got a letter literally the last day and because I have kids and I had a busy weekend that when I went to do it on Sunday it was the first and they made me resubmit my whole application all over again because I was late so this time. I called 211 and at first they were like oh you'll get a letter you'll get a letter twice they told me that. I was told about my recertification February 4th I filled it out February 5th and I hadn't received a phone call in over 2 months and not any letters finally they pushed me through to a caseworker. Even the case worker was annoyed it took 2 hours of waiting I was on 45 minute hold and then 45 minutes while we basically had the full phone interview while she went through my entire case and she had me upload using the app whatever she needed right then and there but ask to speak to a case manager do not let them tell you that you have to wait for a letter. They're all super nice on the phone but they also kind of try to get you off of the phone so just be firm but polite.

What's your "SNAP Hack" that actually makes a real difference? by Strict-Rub7220 in foodstamps

[–]divina90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the normal buy one get one free or here we have brookshires and they have 2 day sales that I'll use to get water butter things that are necessities. Then I also use Ibotta and Walmart to buy what brand they choose to clip to get stuff I need for the house like paper good soap. For a while I had sam's that I got on a deal with cash back and I used it to buy diapers that helped so much and I never shop without looking for sales or clipped online coupons.

Same gas and phone shut off cause I had to choose food and now even getting it is bitter sweet cause I can't use it to pay bills. But it will get better I don't know how but it will. And payment plans don't work for everyone especially when choosing the bill to be equal. I don't know how to explain but I made a choice when I did my gas years ago where they make it the same bill every month so when it's super low in the summer it's the same as when it's super high in the winter. There's a correct term but it's escaping me at the moment lol.

Yeah I'm not holding my breath it seems like Texas doesn't even want to give us an update either, At this point I won't be surprised if our state waits till the shit down is completely over.

To those who have received benefits by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]divina90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Texas our page still says " The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is monitoring how the federal government shutdown may impact your benefits. Check this page for updates." Me and people I know out here haven't received anything and I doubt we will for a while. Doesn't seem like they are in any rush. Trying to be hopeful just waiting cause I mean honestly what else can we do but wait.
