So as of now I get 721$ a month from SSI the full amount, 300 goes to rent so I end up having a little over 400$ left the rest of the month 40-50 of which goes to my phone.

Right now I am getting like 22$ in food stamps, which really isn't much at all and so as of now I have been getting what I can with that, spening a little of my SSI money on food but still don't seem to have enough funds to actually go grocery shopping, get some stuff to actually last the month...and my weight is down 10 pounds because I can't get enough to eat. I live at my moms house so there is some food her and her boyfriend buy but not really much stuff I eat...and I am not always at my moms house but don't really have stuff I can bring with me as snacks.

So to everyone here that might have some knowledge on the topic, do you think I should be confident they can raise it a bit so I can afford more food....or is it a better idea for me to just figure out a way to make it work as is such as then spend 200 of SSI money on food and have...200 bucks to work with for everything else aside from what I mentioned in the first paragraph every month. Hmmm do I want to starve or be able to afford to do some of the things I enjoy and things like furniture and stuff for my living space that I actually sort of need. I mean if that's it for my life....essentially constantly being too broke to do anything at all what's even the point? Unfortunately being on SSI its not like I can go get a job and get more money...So just really hoping I can go to the EBT office and that having 400 left after paying rent is a low enough income for me to get an amount of food stamps that might cover a grocery shopping trip.

But yeah I was trying to just wait it out till I got my SSI stuff all figured out, and then address the food stamps issue again and thought I was doing ok just eating what I can at my moms house and what not but apparently its severely effecting my weight as I am down to 88.8 pounds my normal range is 95-100 pounds.
