Understand and acknowledge that: the prices of food is at an ALL TIME HIGH and poor folks need higher Food Stamp benefit

Created by L.S. on November 18, 2012

People who are poor, unemployed, disabled, have children and the like receive $200 or less in food stamp benefits depending on family size. I have worked all my life and lost my job due to layoffs in 2008. I currently receive disability benefits and I only receive $59.00 in food stamps a month. That might get me $25.00 in groceries. I just moved from Mass. To Florida and there are days when I live on peanut butter & jelly if I'm lucky. Please raise the food stamp amounts. Especially, with the cost of food being so high now.
Thank you.
