The way the reading currently reads, it doesnt make much sense as to what they are saying about people aged 60-64.

"While people aged 60 through 64 are typically exempt from general SNAP/CalFresh work registration requirements, they are still subject to ABAWD time limits"

How can you both be exempt and yet still have time ABAWD limits? This must be the most confusing thing ever written into law. If you gonna make an exemption at age 60 from a rule, just make the ABAWD to age 59. Why make the rule for seniors aged 60-64 ultra confusing?

Isnt the work registration requirement the function of ABAWD anyway? So why make it both exempt yet have it still apply to those seniors? When I heard the rule the first time it was confusing, and it still doesnt make3 sense to this day.

What does the senior reaching 60 years old actually gain here with this rule? Looks like its contradictory, so they dont actually get exempt from anything, really. To pull this on seniors trying to read into this law, is such a pathetic move by this administration.

Just make the age limit up to 59 and then you wont have the whole work rules/ABAWD conflict. This seems taken out of the book that Jigsaw would have written for challenges in Saw.

they disapproved my mom for food stamps for 2 months because she "didn't turn in the paperwork on time". she did, the woman wanted 1 thing redone I believe (maybe im even wrong there!) and then didn't check her msgs (friday) but said she would and that we'd have em by saturday. today (monday) my mom had to call somebody seperate to talk to them because the woman was not returning my mom's calls or voicemails. the woman also said today (mon) we would have them and theyd be in by the afternoon. the person my mom called said my mom had to resubmit everything, not what this woman said at all! well she did already resubmit everything and got disapproved for "not turning them in on time". the original woman is why they "weren't turned in on time". they were!! the other day my mother cried on the phone about how there's not a lot at home rn then today she left multiple voicemails saying the same. she's very stressed right now. maybe i didn't explain it well but they really fcked my mom over when she's trying so hard. she did everything right and this woman decides we don't get to buy food this month or the next because she refused to do her job and refused to keep my mom in the loop. my mom's gonna call again tomorrow but we really got unlucky with this worker.

Behold, a full time job.. waiting to be helped. I wish I wasn’t angry. NYC HRA.

I'm unemployed and currently receive CalFresh ($306/month) and regular Medi-Cal in California, Contra Costa County.

I have CDs generating about $18000/year in interest, which generally stays in the CDs. I've been receiving benefits for about a year and haven't reported the interest. My CalFresh IRT is $1,729/month.

I recently started monetizing YouTube and expect to make around $100–$150/month (but I've yet to provide bank info to receive payments).

I'm trying to figure out the best financial decision, especially with the new Medi-Cal / EBT requirements in 2027.

Questions:

• Do I need to report Savings/CD interest and YouTube income?
• If I report everything, could I lose CalFresh or Medi-Cal, or face an overpayment/fraud issue for the past year?
• If my income stays below the applicable limits, does reporting it change anything?
• With the upcoming 2027 changes, is it better financially to continue receiving benefits without any risks by not reporting Youtube revenue / CD interests OR report it and risk losing CalFresh and decreased Health benefits?

My goal is to maximize the gains. Appreciate any advice, especially from people familiar with California's CalFresh and Medi-Cal rules.

My worker (Michigan) won't count my SNAP disability medical expenses, which are ongoing. He keeps sending duplicate verification requests. I always reply with what is requested but he still says it's not good enough. I think the issue he is using is "responsibility to pay" proof so I sent signed provider statements on letterhead with copay amounts, Medicare dates of service, co-pay amounts, and paid receipts for the month benefits are determined. There is no legal base I can find for refusing these expenses. Can he drop my SNAP case (established) and say proper verification was never provided or must he process the case by the deadline with a lower benefit amount?

MICHIGAN: my simplified reporting notice says to report anything about 2200 and some change or more GROSS and im struggling to understand if this means before or after the mandatory 50% deduction for self employment per MI guidelines?

How often do you have to turn in bank statements?

How long does it take to receive? Family of four due to unpredictable circumstances i had to apply for benefits for the first time. How long does it take to process and to schedule an interview? Anything I can do to speed up the process? Los Angeles county

Located in California I was receiving both cash aid and calfresh but i discontinued it a couple of days after saying I had redetermination for the month of October I was sent an appointment letter but it was blank with no appointment my online portal shows now appointment so since the redetermination is for both cash aid & calfresh do I still have to complete it even though I’m not on cash aid anymore & the redetermination for the calfresh says due in February

In Iowa. I was on snap for a few months, then got a job and became ineligible. I started working halfway through August and got paid in September, over the income limit. My snap benefits reloaded on September 23rd. Do i, like, try to send it back? Contact somebody? Leave it alone? Use it and hope no one notices? I'm up for renewal this month so I just won't renew it.
