re: Just got denied for DSNAP

Food for thought. I know a couple who are a dual earner income family. Husband works for a Power Company locally and logs tons of OT. Wife works for a well-respected local biz as a CPA supervising a group of other CPA's.

They do well. Very well. They qualified for $771 and they told the truth to their application taker. So the OP is relaying a piece of anecdotal-if not absolutely frustrating for him personally-evidence. The overwhelming, vast majority of folks are going to qualify fo DSNAP. If he were really upset and felt as if he wasn't getting something he was entitled to, he walked out of the DSNAP location with paperwork that detailed the reasons for denial as well as the appeal process, and the appeal process almost always works.

Having said that, I did some quick math.

$771 is .006425% of $120,000.00
