SNAP ending benefits

Sooooo I work 28 hours a week and get paid biweekly $26.37 an hour. I recertified my snap about a few weeks ago and I just received a letter stating that they will close my case bc I make too much money for a family of three, (me and my two kids). I made around $200 more than their guidelines. With rent and childcare, I barely have any money left.

I still need to submit my documents on the access HRA app and hoping they give me benefits.

Has anyone had a similar situation like me?

why come here to troll people? You live in the middle of nowhere. I am British and live in New York and 26.37 is not high pay. OP will struggle to get by without assistance and assistance is not like it is in the UK. There’s much less and it’s much harder to come by. Why don’t you get a life and stop finding random posts to troll people on when this is supposed to be a positive app. It’s pretty pathetic. Have a nice day!

Yes I get paid biweekly, and yes it’s tough out here. I was working part time since I was still on paid family leave and taking my days intermittently. I’m going back full time soon . But I also have school loans to pay…. I guess I’ll take the L 😭

$26.37/hr for a mother of two children is NOT anything to be considered lucky about. Do you know the cost of groceries? Bills? Rent? Her expenses will add up. No need to be rude.

Counter it. Submit the case to be reviewed by a judge. I got denied and as soon as I had my court date they granted me benefits.

Do you work part time I would cut my hrs for two weeks then rectify sorry this sucks I have the same issue

no not at all bc I work for a non for profit. If I take two weeks off , I would be on Paid time off and still get paid 😭😭. I’ll appeal let’s see if that works.

Look into Biden’s student loan repayment. There’s a way to have it get paid off for you.

Not sure how you got cut off as you are a family of three. The cut off for a family of 3 is 3108 a month with a annual income of 37,296. Do you receive child support or have additional income. If you’re still on paid family leave and working part time they factor that income in as well. You’d have to reapply once you return from leave and no longer have those additional benefits. Sadly, I believe SNAP doesn’t factor in child care which is a major deduction in income. NY is tough. I was cut off as well and still find myself struggling with the salary they consider affordable.

A friend of mine reduces her hours worked in the week or two before she has to submit her documents for recertification. Maybe you can do the same (give or take a few hours) and submit your paystubs for reconsideration. It often works!

@Ray 1st off I didn't know wer she was from etc all I knew that u wer lucky to get 12 hour wer I'm from only had that information to base it on

Ok well here’s the trick ladies… you have to give four pay stubs… sooooo that would mean you would need to stay out of work for a week to insure your pay 200 less . This will get you 6 months to a yr before you recertification

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.
