When Obama increased unemployment by $25 per week, that put my brother in law $22 over the limit for food stamps.
Family of 4 getting $1792 in unemployment no longer qualifies for food stamps. Something just ain't right if you ask me.

The net guidelines seem a little weird and did not see unemployment income listed as a a reason to be in that category.
