Five Senators to Reintroduce Sweeping College Athlete Bill of Rights in Congress

The high school girl checking out your groceries huh? Interesting sample size. I don't mean to be an ass, but come on man....you can't be serious.

So here are the qualifications according to the South Carolina Department of Social Services and Benefits.gov (C&P)

You may qualify for expedited SNAP benefits (commonly referred to as emergency SNAP benefits) if your household’s gross monthly income is less than $150 and liquid resources (money in the bank; cash on hand) do not exceed $100; OR your household’s monthly gross income plus any cash that you have on hand or in the bank is less than your rent/mortgage and utilities; OR your SNAP household contains a migrant or seasonal farm worker who is considered destitute and the household’s liquid resources (money in the bank; cash on hand) do not exceed $100.

To be eligible for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the state of South Carolina and meet one of the following requirements:

You have a current bank balance (savings and checking combined) under $2,001, or

  • You have a current bank balance (savings and checking combined) under $3,001 who share their household with one of the following:
    • A person or persons age 60 and over or
    • A person with a disability (a child, your spouse, a parent, or yourself).

I'm sorry for you if you live in an area that have so many people that fit this criteria. Very sad indeed. Fortunately, that simply isn't consistent with overall living standards throughout the state.

Per the chart.....The darker blue your state is, the higher that participation is of the people who qualify for the benefits. Says it right on the graph you linked.

This is all insanely misleading. here's the true data. Also important to note that level of benefits are drastically different. Someone receiving $20 a month (occurs frequently) is included.

Whom Does SNAP Reach?​

In fiscal year 2021, it helped:

  • 608,100 South Carolina residents, or 12% of the state population (1 in 9)
  • 41,500,000 participants in the United States, or 13% of the total population (1 in 8)
SOUTH CAROLINA

more than75%of SNAP participants are in families with children

more than33%are in families with members who are older adults or are disabled

almost41%are in working families
NATIONALLY

more than66%of SNAP participants are in families with children

almost36%are in families with members who are older adults or are disabled

almost42%are in working families

govt data also suggest that inflation is third of what it actually is.
