Howecome homeless people never get food stamps?
Because they work for food
I think you need an address to sign up
Look into the process for signing up and recieving food stamps. First you usually need access to a computer
You need a place of residence to apply for foodstamp.
There are so many programs both nation wide and state to get yourself off the street. Homeless people either don't know about them, are you ok mentally ill or strung out to take the time to use them
So go to the library then. Food stamps are meant for low income people. Why don't they take advantage of it when they're homeless?
Seems kind of redundant and pointless , aren't food stamps for helping poor and unemployed people?
Shouldn't they be the ones to have easy and quick access to them?
>shouldn't they be the ones to have easy and quick access to them?
Exactly.
I'm thinking of taking the homeless people that sit outside of my college and help them get food stamps. The deli's around here take EBT, so they'd be able to eat.
they don't need to in california
the weather is perfect for being a beach bum
liberals will toss bums an easy $20 just for holding a sign covered in piss
They're hungry. =(
>liberals will toss bums an easy $20
That's because, unlike conservatives,
they actually have well-paying jobs,
and they believe in charity
instead of just using religion to pretend to be good.
The web says you don't need an address for SNAP EBT. I'm thinking of taking some homeless people I know to the Social Security office to get food stamps.
Please do not confuse liberals with tourists.
Obamaphones too. They can get a free cell phone.
Okay the reality is if you are a white Male you do not qualify.
I speak from experience.
If you are a white Male you will be directed to find another means of assistance.
In my state you have to be working a minimum of 20 hours every two weeks, but also make below $1,100 a month to qualify
Wtf? You have to have a job to get food stamps in your state?
well why dont you get a God damn job al
As far as I know. I used to be on them before I graduated. You don’t need a job to qualify for the state Medicaid program though, which also includes limited dental and vision coverage as well.
Because they're either too lazy or prideful to get food stamps. Plus a majority are making decent money begging and would rather have cash to buy drugs and such.
They could easily apply for foodstamps by going to one of the offices.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yeah but then they could eat what, and when they want for free. I'm gonna talk to some of the homeless people where I go to school and see why they don't get them.
>Plus a majority are making decent money begging
lol are you serious?
No idea why that is, but it is how it is. If you are also eligible for welfare cash assistance, then you also need a bank account and you can only have a bank account with a permanent residency, which you'd only have if you had a job, which would make getting welfare pointless.
That whole thing is even topped by some european countries, for example germany; If you are homeless, you can not be eligible for welfare as you lack a residence, which means nobody is paying for your insurance. German law dictates that everyone has be insured and if you can't prove that you were insured (even if you never went to the ER or anything) in a specific timespan, then you are acrueing debt. Roughly $900 USD a month. Even if you manage to stop being homeless, you will now have a lifelong debt you have to pay off.
Shit's fucked up.
Wtf are you talking about
There's no such thing as "welfare cash assistance" in the US, the only cash assistance is disability or retirement.
Also Germany has a welfare program that gives any unemployed individual an apartment and 400 euros a month
>Also Germany has a welfare program that gives any unemployed individual an apartment and 400 euros a month
You can't get welfare in germany without a residency and if you don't have a residency, then you can't even get a bank account, my poor uneducated nazi friend.
What part of apartment didn't you see?
Move to upstate NY. You get section 8(rent money),WIC(food money),and a check for spending money twice a month. I work around these people and wonder why I work at all. They get by nicely on their free shit and I have to bust my ass just to break even.
what is wtc?
Also how easy is it to get section 8?
and how big is that spending money check?
>all righties are religious
oof
Truth is homeless people can and do get SNAP. I worked at a shelter, we'd sign them up using an accelerated application. Their mailing address is the shelter, whether they stayed there or not.
Most homeless are rich and have a home its an act because they can make more panhandling then doing anything the rest are drug addicts that don't want to /cant pass a drug test and then the 1% that are mentally ill
WIC, Women with Infant Children geared to feeding babies and is in addition to SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program which parents receive.
This is actually true for some of those people begging is a job. Look homeless get money.
Being homeless is great if you want to see the world and if you only stay in places a night the police don't mess with ya the hard part is hoping trains some times you don't end up where you think you are going but trading and sharing with other homeless is the best part and most towns even small ones have soup kitchens or a salvation army that will feed ya and public library's free WiFi .So ya just have to know when to head south before winter I save up the last week of October and just fly its worth it just to be warm some like the trains tho so they can see the view but you do it once then I say first class is where it's at
You don't need a bank account to get welfare, you do need an address. There are government programs that offer housing at significantly reduced cost (% of paycheck), sometimes they'll even float the bill. You can also collect unemployment/disability if you were a vet (which a lot of homeless claim to be). There are hoops to jump through, but a lot of homeless people have reasons they're homeless, typically addiction of some sort. Also, the hobo population isn't as high as the news might have you believe, the statistic counts many apartment dwellers if that are month to month or multi family homes, like people who live with their parents but have children of their own.
The real reason so many homeless who beg on the corner aren't seeking financial aid is because they pull decent money ($1000-1500/month). You have to report under $10k per year to the IRS to qualify for the best funded programs
This.
>Howecome homeless people never get food stamps?
where would I send them?
Yes. I have panhandled in CO, if you know where to go and how do it well, making less thay $100 a day is considered a bad day. Stop handing money to strangers.
Both groups are stupid. Re publickers and demon crates are both fucking you over. Just in different ways.
>you receive food stamps in the mail
Oh you sweet summer child
Address is simply to check in on those who use food stamps, make sure they're not cheating the system. You use a debit card, it's not 1960s anymore, they're not actually "stamps"
Yes they are, lmao you died by sudden retardation
>instead of just using religion to pretend to be good.
i wish i lived next to you fam
we need a fucking crusade on religion and wipe that shit off the face of the planet.
I'm atheist, your move
If you're atheist, define it
Checkmate
B2R
Homeless here. I hate those assholes who instead giving me cash try to buy me food. Im fed up by these idiots what dont they get when i say i accept only fucking cash. Im so mad at them i throw their shit cake or fastfood bag right after them. JUST GIMME CASH YOU MORONS
what?
are you writing from a phone?
Fuck off
Yes and using public wlan. Problem with that?
Lol such an angry homeless person
Have you attempted to do it?
The local social security office
You can apply online at the library too
>Howecome homeless people never get food stamps?
I'd posit that it's starts with a lack of education and poor or incorrect sentence structure. "HOWECOME" is down right wrong. I think you mean to say " How come..." but that is also wrong. The question would be "Why don't homeless people receive EBT cards?" That's a many fold issue. First if you don't have the ability to fill out the paperwork, a phone to make further contacts and appointments, or a mailing address to receive your food stamp card, then you can't participate in the gibs. Many "homeless people " are to some extant mentally ill, so if they were to present themselves to the pshc ward at their local hospital they would be afforded a 10 day evaluation and further assistance. But that would also assume they put down the crack pipe or quit sucking dicks for meth.
Bro I hope your next sack is cut with some fent. No lie, please kill yourself.
wtf is fent
Really? You're going to start with some pedantic drivel like that and then confuse "extent" with "extant"? Consider suicide.
Ask your snack dealer
Yea i would luv me some fentanyl now. Ya know i even tried to refund this shit food handouts to get cash back so i can buy me some. Fuck all who puts food at my cardboard. I just throw it away or eat the best part only
You run out of food stamps after half a month.
>then they could eat what, and when they want for free.
No. They could eat with funds paid buy productive responsible people. They should be limited to non-luxury foods, or ingredients to make food. Ground turkey at $1.00.lb, not Ribeyes. Generic store brand Cheerios, not marshmellow and sprinkles Lucky Charms. Powdered milk, not chocolate milk. Choosy bastards beggars. Yeak, that sounds racist assuming a single mother because Tykwando don't give his money to the mother of his lil sprockets.
You Sir, are the prime example of "If you are young you're Liberal. If you're old you're a Conservative." Growing up is painful, but taking on adult attitudes and understanding where all that free shit comes from will adjust your attitude.
Seriously now. Homeless guy here whos sick of food donation. I dont need foodstamps at all. The procedure is not worth it at all. Even tho i could sell the stamps but no. I get enough of all kinds of food. So much i cant eat it and simply throw it onto some pedestrians i dont care. I want fucking cash i have an alcohol problem im a habitual drinker. 10 minutes ago some fucking white collar guy gave me a mcd bag and i just threw it after him as he was crossing the street. Fucking morons
"Need access to a computer" Last time I checked, libraries in most major cities have public access computers. It takes all they can do to stop them from beating off to internet porn.
You are the reason I don't give cash. Will you be honest and tell us what is your drug of choice?
Don't do that. You're not qualified to help homeless people and they don't want your help anyway. Some have severe mental illness and are dangerous.
This was local news a few years ago. A homeless man asked a guy who was sitting in his car with his gf for $1. The guy told him no. Homeless man went back to his tent and got a knife and told his friends he was going to kill the guy and his gf. Went back to the car, tried to stab the guy. The guy had a ccp, shot and killed him.
Mfw im homeless n broke and sitting all day near central park with my doggo and eat better than all of you fuckers. Ha Ha i even had caviar truffle on a weekly basis. Lmao at you eating shit junk
I misspelled a word, therefore my chain of thought is null & void? Choke on a dick, triggered faget.
There is a younger homeless couple always hanging out by the grocery store I go to. Thier sign says "anything will help"
>they both have sucked my cock for $20
>the girl isn't to into it but sucks dick like a champ
>I think the guy would do it for free if it wasn't his job
>I cum, they make drug money
>win win
You're still homeless and living off others, a literal parasite, you fucking loser.
Good dumpster diving in the alleys near your overpass cardboard home? If you are eating that well, you aren't homeless through misfortune. You might qualify as an Urban Outdoors man.
ITT: People talking out their ass.
You do not need a permanent address to apply for SNAP (what food stamps is called these days)
You seem upset.
>As far as I know.
What state?
They dont have address
You're a faggot I take.
>I want fucking cash i have an alcohol problem im a habitual drinker.
That's what I suspect in most cases. You have chosen not to participate in society, or to do so as a consumer with no contribution. You are a beggar in the classical sense complete with self inflicted wounds. No liver transplant for you.
It's your type what gives filthy lazy smelly beggars a bad name.
You the one sucking dick for 20 bux?
Anyone who says "just get a job" would never even consider hiring a homeless person
t. summerfag
My only goal right now is to make sure I don't go homeless. But in some way, I wish something bad would happen like a job loss or whatever so I could be tested and see how ready I am for tragedy.
Nah, just dont care what the mouth is attached to. You a faggot? Wanna make a 20?
>the one sucking dick
I doubt it. He thinks everyone owes him because he drinks. It's not his fault he has a drinking problem. "Mai disease..."
You have to be an illegal to receive food stamps here in commiefornia.
WIC is food money for infants. There's different program for adult food isn't that BET
Lol, working for it would be too much of a "job"
Hold yourself to the same standards, faggot.
Do you want some tips buddy? Im well seasoned at homelessness. I virtually thrive from day to day. If i would have saved all the cash i got n put in bank i could buy me already a nice small house in a nicer part of town. But unfortunately i fire all my earnings up for the best booze in town though. Winter can be tough and personally what im serious about is my state of my liver. Its already bloated and fatty. Maybe gotta retire my lifestyle soon
What a loser. Become a functioning alcoholic like me. I'm sitting on my porch with my cooler full of beer ready to down a few before dinner then I'll come back on here have a few more.
Life is good. I don't get why chronic alcoholics want to live a life of shit in shit, and feel like shit. Are you just lazy or retarded?
Because if his sign read will work for drugs and alcohol people would be less likely to help.
Limiting to ingredients is simply dumb. How many homeless people do you know who have stoves?
All have shopping carts
It’s such a weak argument because Christian charities provide BILLIONS in charitable donations, You can gripe all you want about “muh croosades” kids, but I know people involved in it, on both sides. They are doing some pretty impressive things worldwide. If you’re so virtuous compared to them, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?
I’m not making this argument from a place of faith because I believe some people are misguided in their reasons for tithing (any church with a dogma rooted in fear or self denigration as a means for worship, I believe is a very toxic place and breeds the most insufferable, irrational and potentially dangerous people, but not all sects of organized religion are like that at their core) one can not argue that religious tithing does no good whatsoever.
