Just like many of yall, I got laid off 2 months ago (right after a 50 cent raise after 4 years there). I got food stamps approved but was delaying unemployment benefits thinking it would be easier to get a job. After 200+ applications and 15 interviews with no job offers yet, It's time for unemployment. My savings is running out..
I just noticed my SNAP benefit amount went from $280 a month to $24....
After calling 10 times today, and getting the same horrible message "due to high volumes we can't assist you, please hang up"
I just spoke with someone who told me my benefits went from $280 to $24 because I'm getting unemployment. This is literally my only form of income.
unemployment is $400 + $24 for food.
How is anyone supposed to survive on that? Is there anything I can do?
Im actually getting nervous.
sending everyone love and hope that this all gets better sooner than later.
