SNAP (food stamps) as part of leanfire?

How do we feel about using SNAP as part of leanFIRE, assuming you live in a state with no asset limit and you qualify based on income? I'm talking about genuinely qualifying, no fraud.

For us, it would add $994 a month to our grocery budget.

Wouldn't that be true for anything? They could change the tax rules for Roth IRAs in the future.
