Yes. An entire 3500 households who receive welfare in Louisiana (according to the article) at $192 per month.
Article was way off. Sorry you believed it. Someone got their numbers messed up.

I am certain the article is more correct than you can seem to comprehend.
It didn't count every recipient to make the numbers seem more daunting like you & others like to use to villainize poor families. It says Households not each individual person who is on the program any given year.
In order to receive that whopping $192 per family you must have a family of at least 3 or more & earn less than $30,000 to get the 5 years of LIFETIME benefits.
The article is correct (on average) & if you count every family that moved on or off the program during the year it's probably varies from quarter to quarter ,but still only a few thousand (way less than 900k or even 19,000k that has been claimed)
I knew the knuckleheads would come running with EBT since the photo has an EBT card. You can not use Food stamps(EBT) to buy lingerie , clothes,etc...anyway (unless you barter).
Welfare(TANF ) is a small CASH supplement of $192 per household(not individual).
