Revised Guidelines for Counting Income for SNAP
 

I thnkk all of the income should be counted toward the entire household.  The entire household has access to the income that is received in the home for adults over 18.  Is it the belief that the way the income is being  counted that  the person that is earning the  income is not eating the food purchased from the SNAP benefits?.

All of the income of the household is counted for US citizens and an ilegal alien has only a portion of  their income counted. Does this appear to be fair?

I think the policy needs to be the same for an alien as for a citizen.
