“Joking about stuff like this seems harmless but it only perpetuates the myth that benefits are easy to get and people game the system. Anyone who has had experience with this process will tell you this is far from the truth”.

“There are years-long wait lists for housing assistance.
EBT cards can hold both cash assistance and Snap, but people without children don't qualify for cash assistance and SNAP benefits for one person maxes out at $200 a month, and that's with NO income. Disability benefits are barely if at all a livable income.
And with a lot of these programs getting one will disqualify you from, or lower the amount you receive from another. So that timeline of events the OP gave doesn't add up. The math ain't mathing. 1 know y'all like to THINK welfare is easy money but it isn't”.

“This tweet and the replies are so fucking ableist, I'm gonna need you guys to have a reality check. People w disabilities have to go through so many obstacles to get government assistance and benefits. Just because YOU think she's mentally healthy doesn't mean she is taking me 7 months to try to get disability benefits for me to get denied. Be fucking fr”.
