id=share>“Because of just over $20 of unemployment income, I lost $430 in SNAP benefits. $430 for my son and I to purchase groceries each month.No one should be removed from the SNAP program if they are receiving unemployment benefits. It seems like a no-brainer. But that isn t the case in Nebraska. This cliff effect must end so the people of Nebraska can receive the help they deserve.”
