Here you can get them if you make under like 800 a month or if you have children or disabled people you take care of
In my case I am poor and just got out of jail within the past 3 months so I got "emergency funds," go into my account within 24 hours

I had a bridge card (EBT) for about 6 months a few years ago. I was able to get like 360 a month for food it was pretty fucking crazy and to be honest I was not comfortable with it at all. But ill tell ya I have never eaten better in my life lol.

Why werent you comfortable with it?
I have never received any kind of government assistance before and I have been paying taxes since I was 16 years old. I feel like I have paid plenty into the system to deserve a little support with my food bill while I get a job and get back on my toes

It was just way more money than I expected to get and I could still afford to buy food without it but I would have had to keep it real with ramen and things like that lol.
Its not that big of a deal though as I have also been paying taxes since about 17 so Im with ya there. My tax dollars get wasted enough as it is anyways...

I doubt I'd qualify because I still live at my moms house, but its the same as any apartment. I pay rent and buy my own food, but I dunno if that qualifies me. I'm looking hard for a better job with more hours because I can barely live off of what I'm fucking making now, just not finding anything.
Some free fucking food would really ease my pain and my wallet. I spend half my paycheck just driving to work every day.
-------------------- Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

Yep, I kinda live with my mom. I live with a friend who I just pay rent to. I qualify. If you dont have a job or dont make a lot of money, you'll get them. They arent super restrictive for food stamps. You will only get 200$ a month like me but it's something

Jobs being hard to find in an election year is not a good sign.

fuck off
you dont live in my country or my state so dont comment on our social programs. I have paid into the system for 7-8 years, the least they can do is help me out with my food bill. The money can ONLY be applied to food items, nothing else.
as you said, you dont know ANYONE looking for work. I know TONS of people out of work.
