The facts of the case:
The person collects $674 dollars from SSI every month.
Her rent is 425, utilities included.
Her worker cut the benefits from 170 something dollars to 87 dollars. The reason given was the inclusion of utilities in rent.
Another person, who goes to the same Food Stamp office, has the same SSI income, and a 325 dollar a month rent with utilities included and receives 170 ish dollars worth of food stamp benefits.
These women live in Louisville, KY. Can someone with social work experience or experience "in the system" explain the reasoning. All the worker could say is that he could not compare cases and the cut was due to the lack of a separate utility bill (both cases do not pay separate utility bills).
The women whose benefits were cut is required to eat a healthy, low sodium diet as she has congestive heart failure (and spina bifida….hence, the SSI). That will be all but impossible at roughly 20 bucks a week for food. The woman whose benefits remained in the range of 170 collects SSI for being bipolar, if the reason for the SSI makes any difference to the program and amount of benefits received.
neither of the women have children nor do they ever intend to. lol.
the government can’t seen to get their sh$t right…they do a lot that is not fair
