I have been working these cases for a long time and have always felt we were treating the ineligible immigrants better than we did with the USA Citizens. It was like we were awarding them benefits for being ineligible immigrants. I can see the same situation with an Ineligible immigrants of a family of 4 with the same income as a family of 4 citizens and the results are that the ineligible immigrants are eligible but the USA citizens are not. How fair is that? This does not only apply to Snap but also to Tanf as I have alot of clients who's children receive Tanf but the parent does not, therefore, the parent is not put in View and there is no clock for the children. All programs need to be looked at.
