"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?"

"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."

"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."

"Two-thirds of SNAP recipients are kids, seniors, or the disabled, most of whom are not expected to work."
