    Enrollment in WIC is dropping also. The concern is that many immigrants are in fear that participation may interfere with their legal status and that they will lose their green cards or be denied citizenship. Could that be affecting SNAP enrollment also?

    Your article has left out a most important issue. The income requirement for people on fixed incomes needs to be increased so that more SNAP money is available. It is absolutely impossible for an individual with a gross annual income of $20,000 to survive on $40 a month from SNAP.

    The amount of money that SNAP allows for rent, monthly expenses, medication and doctors is an abomination.

    Senior citizens are falling through the cracks and there is no net for them.

      You should reach out and talk to someone about eligibility, the deductions for seniors and the disabled are pretty generous. We have an information line 212-614-5552 or call 311 for HRA.
