MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Food assistance benefits for Alabama's
needy families will go up on April 1 by the largest amount in more
than two decades.
Alabama's commissioner of Human Resources, Nancy Bucker, said
Tuesday funding from the federal stimulus package is providing the
increase in what is commonly called the "food stamp" program.
The federal package provides for a 13.6 percent increase in the
current maximum monthly allotments per household size. For example,
the maximum monthly allotment for a family of four will go from
$588 to $668. The amount for others depends on their income and
household size.
The last increase was in October 2008 when the maximum amount
went up 8.5 percent. That had been the largest increase in 20
years.

mrs eek, they came once to your aide they will be here again for you next hurricane.  just please do not go thru their wallets.

Mexican army convoy [crossed] into the United States on Thursday [September 8, 2005] to bring aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina. ... Carrying water treatment plants and mobile kitchens that can feed 7,000 people daily, the convoy bound for San Antonio is the first Mexican military unit to operate on U.S. soil since 1846.”

“The Mexican government was already planning another 12-vehicle aid convoy for this week. ... It has sent a Mexican navy ship toward the Mississippi coast with rescue vehicles and helicopters. ... Mexico has sent disaster relief aid missions to other Latin American nations, but not to the United States.”—Abe Levy, Associated Press, September 8, 2005

She’ll be back, with STILL not a darn thing to say.lol

Go hit your crack pipe again delusional NOSY ROSY.

And Yeah, I emailed the ABN, to let them be aware of what a threat you were to your disabled husband. They assured me they would contact all the home health agencies and put them on high alert. You will probably have a social worker and/or DHR visiting VERY soon.

And actually, I am receiving an award at the next meeting, for going “above and beyond the call of duty.” I am so glad, I potentially saved the life of your husband. I just hope DHR doesn’t drop the ball…. I would invite you to the luncheon, but you’ll probably be in jail, or at Searcy for evaluation.

Come on chicken little, NOSY ROSY-answer the questions asked of YOU. YOU ARE SO AFRAID! BOOOO

You think I look in people’s wallets? Maybe that’s just your guilt for checking out more than ID’s…Did you see any dirty stuff NOSY ROSY? Did you count how much money they had NOSY ROSY? You did, didn’t you.

The government knows about your plans to go to Mexico.

lol i will be back. thats a promise not hypothetical.

speaking of making sense, do you think the alabama nursing board members might read this board to let them know what caring nurses are out there?

OH NO now you are checking the employees wallets at wkrg. will it ever stop. can not wait to hear back from the nursing board of mexico to see if they will check your wallet before issuing you that mexican ebt card.

742,000 private sector jobs cut in march, just the private sector mrs eek, try watching fox. i am not surprised you are watching cnn.

I seriously doubt that any of the employees that were laid off at wkrg qualify for food stamps or receive government welfare. Nor, will they qualify for some time.

you are so busted mrs eek,plus all those people that might need the food stamps because of the climbing unemployment need to be afraid very afraid. mrs eek, wants to know whats in your wallet.
