    • It's theirs. It's funds put into an account that belongs to them.

      And just FYI...

      "Nearly two-thirds of SNAP participants were
      children, elderly, or had disabilities. Forty-four
      percent of participants were under age 18, 11 percent
      were age 60 or older, and 10 percent were disabled
      nonelderly adults.

      Many SNAP participants had jobs. Nearly one-
      third (32 percent) of all SNAP households – and
      more than half (55 percent) of households with
      children – had earnings in 2015. Overall, 44 percent
      of SNAP participants lived in a household with
      earnings."

      • Sorry but i am pretty needy and i dont get any free stuff. I dont begrudge helping people but ive seen welfare parents buy food, return it for cash or buy tgemselves nice food while feeding their kids spaghettios. I think they could use some guidance as to what to feed their kids.
        Its easy to abuse us all im saying.

        • Why don't you get any assistance?

          It's best to just mind your own business regarding the other stuff. You don't necessarily know why someone's returning food or how they bought it in the first place. I mean, even if they did buy something with stamps and return it for cash (which you can't really do anyway, for the most part, for many reasons) maybe they needed cash to get diapers, soap or gas in their car. So. Fucking. What. Just let it go. These people are poor, they're not living high even if they do indulge here or there or not do everything 100% by the book. Their life probably sucks. And unless you're filthy rich, you don't pay a cent for any of this.
