I am a proud conservative republican❣
I don’t believe in big government or the food stamp programs. Now, I heard that food stamps are accepted at restaurants. Many receive too much and sell them for alcohol, smokes, and lottery❗
Yes, no hot meals just cold. I know someone who purchases cigs and alcohol with his food stamps. It’s a gas station that everything rings up as “grocery”. There are a lot of scams going on with food stamps.

You cannot use food stamps at restaurants for Hot meals ( it’s only for non prepared cold meals ) and on food stamps people cannot use them to purchase alcohol, cigarettes, toiletries and definitely gambling. The amount people receive is based on how many children they have and what their monthly income is. I used to work for Social Services so I know exactly what people can or cannot purchase with food stamps. Thank you for your response ☺️
