I'm sorry - the cutoff is always so sudden.

Anyway, that's my rant on food security

There's no shame in having SNAP or using it while traveling. I always feel weird having EBT and Non EBT purchases on the same bill, but it's literally called "SUPPLEMENTAL" - it's there to help offset costs.

I'm sorry the sales tax factors in to your mental math so much for food, genuinely, but don't let that stop you from accessing it. 💜

yeah, I was just also thinking in terms of the fact that a) I was only out of town for 2 weeks and b) I was going to somewhere that had a lower sales tax rate

It's only administered by each state, like ACA, but the money is still federally appointed - states can determine eligibility on their own but the money comes from the Fed. Is okay :P

It's a federal program xD

SF Bay Furs

12 Dec 2024 01:25

aye, I imagine that's a critical enough thing for the state to get on it quickly.

Or it's because mine's still tied to New Mexico 😅

the fact that the cutoff amount doesn't consider costs is criminal

SF Bay Furs

12 Dec 2024 03:02

yeah, I was on snap for a while, but my income now is just like, barely above their threshold so i got kicked off

SF Bay Furs

12 Dec 2024 02:45

And the fact that your EBT card works in any state is proof alone that they intend it to be used regardless of where you are - please don't restrict yourself from food based on that if you can 💜

Also, keep in mind, according to the AARP earlier this year, only 13 states tax groceries

And it's not like you can squander it on true non-necessities, wherever you are

And like, just because I'm in another state doing end of life care for a family member doesn't change my financial situation much so like, I don't feel guilty at all 😆I gotta eat.

SF Bay Furs

12 Dec 2024 01:26

but like I think it's one of those things that works federally but acts locally, sorta like driver's licenses

SF Bay Furs

12 Dec 2024 01:26

I never use my shit when I leave the state, it feels disrespectful 👀

SF Bay Furs

12 Dec 2024 01:21
