SNAP usually allots people a max of $200 a month for food which is on a Debit card.
Households CANNOT use SNAP benefits to buy:
Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes or tobacco.
Any nonfood items, such as:
pet foods
soaps, paper products.
household supplies.
vitamins and medicines.
foods that will be eaten in the store.
hot foods.
I don't think you have SNAP because if you did, you'd have to make less than $1200K a month with your SSDI. And the Medicare Part D is for prescription discounts. Sorry, I support you going through a rough time, but even I don't get SNAP and I make far less than you do with two jobs. Please don't make statements that just aren't true. Some of us have had SNAP and know the rules. There's no way you would just awarded $15 a month for SNAP.

I did just get awarded $15 a month in SNAP benefits, I assure you. I can show you the damn paperwork. Please don't tell me I'm mistaken. And it is based on income but it's also based on your household bills. I know what I'm talking about. I've been through the whole financial interview and submitted all the proper information and I have a LETTER from my state department of children and families awarding me $15 a month in SNAP benefits. They work differently from state to state so it may be different in your state than mine.
