Why Would Someone On SSDI Get Less In SNAP Assistance Than Someone Who's Working?
Why is it that someone who is on SSDI with a fixed benefit amount of $801 receives less in state SNAP assistance than someone who is not on SSDI, but who earns the exact amount from a working wage? For example; in the state of Idaho (this situation seems to apply to every state), two people who have the exact same expenses as far as rent, child support, etc. will have a vast difference in SNAP assistance. The person on SSDI receives an average of $72/month in SNAP, while the other individual working for $801 a month receives an average of $144/month in SNAP assistance.
Hi,
I'm sorry but I don't know much about the SNAP program and I can't answer your question. Social Security is my only area of expertise.
Best, Jerry
