Food stamps are no longer printed pieces of paper. Food stamp recipients now get a card same as a debit card. 1st of the month, the monthly amount is automatically added to the card.
In the old days, if a recipient claimed they never got them, the welfare office would send them out after that. Postal carriers hated that. They would have to write up the paperwork, knock on the door. If no one was home, have to leave a notice. One small route had a large apartment complex nicknamed The Saigon Hilton. Carriers hated it. Almost every unit got food stamps by certified mail.
