I work full-time as a grocery cashier. When my hourly wage increased to $17, my SNAP benefits were cut immediately. The system doesn’t care about rent hikes or car payments—only income lines. Meanwhile, coworkers cut hours to stay eligible. They’re less stressed and eat better than I do. At some point, you stop asking who’s wrong and start questioning what the system actually rewards. #SNAPLife #IncomeCliff #WorkingPoor #Fairness
