"The people that I meet with regularly and the people who I see at food banks are not there because they want to be at food banks, it is because they have run out of money."

"the whole concept of categorical eligibility was introduced basically to do what I think everybody here wants, to make these programs more user friendly and more effective and efficient."

"Does anyone here believe that the current SNAP benefit is adequate for a family to be able to pay for the groceries they need for an entire month?"

"We need to keep the focus on the importance of SNAP, and the importance of having an adequate SNAP benefit as people are working their way through some of your programs to hopefully end up with a job."
