Since the creation of the good-as-cash EBT’s, you KNOW Food Stamps will increase in takers.....couple that with the REAL un-employment rate, and it’s a no-brainer.

"...I have the paperwork filled out. I have the supporting documents. I can’t quite bring myself to actually apply..."

Can’t speak for Florida, but in California you can download the form as a PDF, fill it in and print out a copy.

They want copies of utility bills to justify offsetting any income.

The paperwork part is fairly painless, or would have been if a friend of mine hadn’t left me her shredder when she died last month. I, of course, had promptly shredded all my old bills...

I’ll let you know if there are any surprises when I go in, probably tomorrow morning before I’ve had a chance to over think it.

Took about three hours to get the initial processing, need to provide a pile of documents for the follow-up appointment in mid-December.

Apparently, renting out a room makes me “self-employed”, need forms for that. I need birth certificates, tax returns, ID. Also car registrations, social security cards, utility bills.

They decided I should apply for MediCal, there’s a 14 page form that goes with that...
