They don't get cash or a check....it's a SNAP card....and it's not money, but vouchers
you really aren't too bright....
It's not your damn money, when they put the money on that EBT card that is her money.
No it isn’t. That’s why the government can put restrictions on how government charity is spent.
If it were truly her money, she could spend it however she wants.
Good lesson for her kids: when you can’t support yourself and rely on other people’s money, there are restrictions to what you can buy with that money. Maybe the kids will be motivated to break a multi-generational welfare pattern.
You idiot, they receive money on there EBT card in which they go to the store and pay for the items just as you would with a damn debit card.
Well let me know when she can't buy soft drinks, Ice Cream, potato chips and all the other stuff you are whining about that she is purchasing with it.

Well..in stigmatizing the poor, anyway~
Gov. Little is sure to sign this.
First SNAP ban on candy and soda set to become law
The bill now heads to Idaho Governor Brad Little's desk to be signed.www.newsweek.com
SNAP benefits—also known as "food stamps"—are administered nationwide to low- and no-income households that would otherwise struggle to purchase groceries. In the 2024 fiscal year, the program served 130,900 Idaho residents, or 7 percent of the state population. But numerous states are considering banning certain purchases from being made using the anti-poverty benefit, Idaho being the first to pass a bill in both chambers.
The passage and potential signing of the bill does not necessarily mean Idaho's SNAP recipients in Idaho will be immediately impacted, as the ban will be subject to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval.
No waivers are currently in place in any state that bar SNAP recipients from buying foods based on their nutritional value. However, this could be subject to change under the current Trump administration. Newsweek has contacted the USDA for comment via email.
There is also a push at the federal level to see junk food purchases banned. In January, U.S. Representative Josh Brecheen, a Republican from Oklahoma, introduced the Healthy SNAP Act, which would make soft drinks, candy, ice cream and prepared desserts ineligible from being purchased using SNAP benefits.
Or just being maga cruel is good.
Should our no-bid contracts with Leon Shitler! include same restrictions for their breakrooms.
It will take a while to get it through since Dems will block it. They want to make sure that welfare people get the same choices and lifestyle as people who work for a living.
Good point. The N in SNAP stands for nutrition. Only foods that contribute nutrition should be allowed.
Candy and diet soda have no nutritional value.
They get an ebt card with a limit that can be converted to money by the store that accepts it, it gets converted to money when the store collects it and redeems it with the govt
No shit, you're a damn genius.
Are you saying they should only receive what you chose for them?
What the government, via our elected representatives, determines meets a nutritional purpose. It is, after all, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
If they don’t like their limitations, they can provide for themselves.
Well i am just glad you learned something today
They are good, you are the one on here bitching about what they can buy.
Damn you don't know when someone is being sarcastic.
No I get you were. Which I understand is your childish way of acknowledging you were wrong
The ideal scenario would be to have a certified tax payer as a minder for each welfare recipient. They could oversee their grocery purchases, child-rearing techniques, religious practices, etc ... Poor people get fed, and are taught how to live properly by upstanding citizens. Win, win.
You’re the one bitching that poor people are entitled to buy anything they want with the Nutritional Supplement that we taxpayers give them - even junk food.
