    My SNAP/Food Stamps appeal re my lowered Section 8 rent amount

    Dear All, I have a slam-dunk appeal to pursue regarding a SNAP/Food Stamps Noticze of Action.  I receive $200 in EBT monthly, but I just was notified that the amount will ber educed to $179 ($21 down) because my SEction 8 rent was reduced by $28.  I am appealing by telephone & iin writing -- by telephone because 11/1 is so soon, & I want to be sure that they understand that I want my full benefits to continue while I'm appealing.  By wwriting so tht I can get my argument across without any mistake.  My reason that I know I will win is thtt my medical expenses of $650-ish/mo are so high that I am entitled to more than $200, it jsut is thta Z$200 is the maximum that can be given.

    SO, I'm not worried aboout this at all & do  not need any prayers!  Yorus in Hiiim, Deb

    Deb, I'm glad you're so positive about this!  It seems that when you have government benefits of any kind it's a full time job to maintain them and the paperwork and such.  I know you are not worried, but I will say quick prayer for levelheadedness amongst the employees who make these decisions.

    Thank you, my dear SUnshine & Brandy, for your kind words, & thanks especially for your prayer, Sunshine!  Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this is simply a bureaucratic oversight that can be easily remdied.  Love in Him, Deb

    Dear All, It wasn't a bureucratic oversight, but there's still a happy ending.  I am allowed to deduct expenses for my service dog, Heart, so I am far & away within the expense basement for the full $200 in SSSSSSSSSSSSSNAP/              food Stamps EBBBT.  Yours in Him,              Deb
