SNAP is an essential part of sustaining my food needs. I'm glad to hear that receiving it is no longer going to be punished.

Also currently fighting for DAC benefits. Been denied at the initial stage after 2+ years waiting for an agent, so I can see it's going to be a long road, but at least I have a good lawyer from here on who cares less about profits.
