The number that matters in a meaningful way is the % of the people in need who can reasonably access the promised amounts.

That figure excludes the millions of people who meet the guidelines discussed here but are serially denied by state agencies, across months and years. It also excludes millions more who are awarded aid (and categorized as such) but whose benefits total a few tens of dollars.

Florida can represent most of those numbers all by itself, as my earlier posts can attest. Most people here in the 0-30k bracket will be denied SNAP or any other aid.

Me and my own kids lived in and out of hunger for a decade; we were unceasingly denied SNAP by CPS. But mine were a few hungry kids among millions and millions, it makes our family story unremarkable.

FL is far from an outlier.

There massive swaths of the US containing millions of people that are unable to access food aid - no matter the need. Implications otherwise do not represent truth.

You're hallucinating a conversation with me. Someone brought up asset limits as a problem. I provided contrary information, and now you're arguing with yourself about something else. You are saying something, I comment that I wasn't suggesting what you're saying, and now you're doubling down and making up what you're responding too. You're obviously passionate about it, but maybe you should take a break from this thread. The way people get treated by some states is appalling and I'm sorry you and others have trouble receiving the help they should be getting.
