Shut SNAP down completely and have people fill out new applications. Do background checks and drug testing.

Edited to add. They need to be actively seeking a job. The places they go to and fill out an application need to sign off on it. That is how it use to be done.

And what do you mean I can't have my rent paid, cell phones for my 4 kids, and my car payments covered, too.

We can put the Jehovah’s Witness may be up in front of the nail salons. That would deter just leaving the boxes of food off to the side where people are getting their nails done because people might take it like all their children taking the Halloween candy.. having the Jehovah’s Witness out front where they just sort of stated themselves and not really talk to anybody until somebody engages with them can pass them some food boxes if needed

Just what I have said too. Never a better time than now to start over. If they stood in lines to get them they can stand in lines again with proof that they deserve them as American citizens only. Only question now is if the people on the other side of the table viewing the paperwork will be honest.

No. End snap all together.

I bet all rednecks and hillbillies junkies won’t find a job and they’re around 47% of SNAP recipients. Mostly from Red states
That’s a fantastic idea.

They already do.. If you ever worked a day in your life you'd probably know that.

I seen another mention run it like unemployment. every week update your work information that you have been looking for a job.
Yessir, id get fired from my federal job if I didn't pass a drug test. So why should we give federal dollars , the taxpayers money, to those who can't pass one?

Then we could see how many out there can afford drugs because they are getting government assistance
