Increase SSI and SNAP benefits!


Increase SSI and SNAP benefits!
The Issue
INCREASE OUR BENEFITS!!
Recently I have noticed that our SNAP benefits went down hill FAST! I was getting 220-240 (Due to covid) but! The decrease is FAR to much! I only got payed around 60! That's not enough for one person and do you know how much it cost with ssi? I'd be possibly paying 150 with that too!
I get 841, but if we count subtract my rent 245, bill for internet which is 70 and also 150 on top of that I'd only have 376 left! For our mental health, and devlopment we need to have more so we can enjoy life so once we have recovered we can get off of SSI for those that are younger of course. But I been stuck inside the house with little to no money at a certain point I may be able to go out and enjoy myself once or twice a month.
That isn't enough I believe for the well being of those on benefits we need to increase the SSI income for both individuals (And couples) as well as SNAP users. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT! XD I've been stuck inside for months! And that's not even due to covid! I just don't have money! And it took me 10 years! 10! to be able to finally get my healing proccess to kick in finally! But this isn't going to help us on SSI by deceasing our SNAPS.
We make FAR less than most people that can work, and I don't think it's fair people have to stay home with little to no money even after saving as well! The SSI and SNAP users should be getting $1,300-1,500 and SNAP should be at LEAST 150 for one person and 250 for a family.
We need to be able to enjoy life and not stuck inside of a house for 6 months to years just due to lack of money while we recover.
