We need a total overhaul and reforming done in our Snap Benefit Program. The program is going to be designed on needs based only for the able body individual and a reimburstment for proven spending on all card holders. The number of you children will not determine your benefit amount for the able body individuals. You and or your family will be determined by needs based only for anyone who is physically able to work a job.
- Must be a tax pay - require a minimum of 20 hours of physical working a job and weekly. The disabled and retired seniors are not required.
- Ban all junk foods: Cookies, cakes, candy, soda and chips.
- Ban the use of the card at all gas stations.
- Ban the use of the card from all fast foods chains and restaurants.
- Require a drug test monthly.
6… Issue the cards with the name of holder and one other alternate user, then must show identification.
7… All accounts opened that are not used in 90 days, will be closed. A one year waiting period to re-sign up for the program will be required. - Anyone caught trading food stamps for drugs, tabacco or alcholol then you account will be closed and you will be banned from the program. You cannot resign up for the program due to abuse of the program.
9… A phone number will be set up for Snap benefit abuse, for anyone to report abusers in the program. These individuals will be banned from the program. - All able body individuals will be required to fill out a monthly budget on all spending and then physically bring in all of your documents in bills, bank and income. This will include your rent, your car payments, insurances, cable bill, cell phone, utilites, monthly food expenses, fuel, credit cards, all you bank accounts ect…(Everything you spend money on in a month) You will be required to prove that you are a finacially needy or is it that you just can’t manage your own money by overspending monthly on things that you could lower in cost on your own, in order to pay for your own food.
- Audit all card holders yearly, to make people who are deceased are not getting paid.
- Aduit all abled body wokers yearly, to make sure he or she is still qualified or not qualified against all income and monthly bills. Every year a appointment will be made to come into the office with all of your bills and finanicals again.
The program will reimburst your monthly spending only. You will have a line of credit monthly but you will not get that payment monthly. Your monthly amount will not exceed your credit limit. This allows for the tax payers and government to stop keep paying card holders who do not spend monthly and stacks benefits for a rainy day, big parties, hoard funds for no reason at all ect…to be continually paid every month with out even buying anything.
Example: Your credit line amount given is $500 in January 2025, then you spend $300 in January. In February, you do not get another $500. Your new payment will be $300, because you have $200 of unspent funds from January and this give you the exact same $500 to spend in February. What you spend is what you get. If you want the full amount, then you would need to spend your full $500 every month. We all buy groceries on needs based including those who are not on Snap, so why does the government and tax payers need to keep paying benefits to those who are not needing it by not really using the benefits when he or she gets them or hoarding benefits for no reason at all. Either you need the food assistance or you don’t. There are millions of people besides the Snap holders, who struggle to buy food. We all have to manage our money and figure it out on our own. We need to make sure this program is kept alive but is for those truly who need it and remove all of the abusers.
