[Very sarcasm] Noooo, don’t feed the poors hot food! They’ll, uhh, Idunno, it’s like feeding gremlins after midnight or something! Probably!
So I just got my EBT card and I’ma go use it tomorrow. Will hopefully get to have some variety and even snacks! Woo! Hopefully the cash assistance thingle comes through too or I’ma get scared again 😅 😰 … Dunno why I’m saying any of this here. Hi! Hello. It’s good that somecritters are working around dickish law :3
Around 2020 my wife had to quit her job and we had a newborn at home. I forget what she had called the local benefits office to setup but the lady basically said “I’m going to get you every benefit I can” and we ended up with Medicaid, EBT and WIC. So we used that shit to make sure the whole family ate as well as we could.
I was still working and we don’t have extremely high expenses, plus it was early in the pandemic so we were avoiding shopping or leaving the house as it was, so we just continued grocery shopping normally (other than grabbing extra of whatever WIC covered that month) and would swipe the benefits card before the debit card and consistently only had to pay for one or two things out of pocket

Good luck!
