And I agree that it's a fairly nonsensical law. Employed people need food stamps more than unemployed people? Hmmm... I know it's a work incentive, but tell that to the people who can't find jobs or are waiting to get on disability. P.S. Thanks for the work you do to help people, Sheri. :) Sheri, thanks for adding that info. And I agree that it’s a fairly nonsensical law. Employed people need food stamps more than unemployed people?

So unemployment was probably the reason for the denial, not homelessness. Does it make sense to me, NO! But I know many people who are denied because they have already received three months and are still unemployed.

There must have been more to it. If he was denied food stamps, he should have received something in writing explaining why he was denied. If it says "homelessness," send him to me.
