I applied for SNAP benefits in November. IDK about other states but here in California the law says that they have to tell you within a month whether you’ve been approved or not. I looked it up and I read it in several places. Well, it’s been about 5 1/2 weeks and I called them three times to check the status of my application and they always said call in the next week.
I learned on Tuesday that a worker had not even been assigned to my case yet and I should have already had an interview. They finally called today while I was at work and I told them to call me back after work. So today I learned they finally assigned a worker to my case and I had my interview. Now I still have to wait for a decision.
Hang in there matey. I’ve found governments are getting scarce with giving people things and I guess it’s a sign of the times. Stick up for what your entitled too but I’d imagine there’s a big que to get anything from anyone over there.
At least you’ve a foot in the door so I’d imagine you have an appeal if it goes bad. Horrible stuff I know but wait and see. I’m so out of the loop on your system!
You should qualify for some if you meet the income requirements. I don’t think they discriminate on anything else. If you’ve already applied you may get some back pay.
