Governor Murphy Signs Bill to Ensure Households Receive SNAP Benefits for Maximum Time Allowed Before Needing to Reapply

Can someone explain the practical ramifications of this? Does it mean that if someones income goes up he can stay on SNAP EBT until next recertification?

FYI, this new law, only applies to households in which every adult is elderly and/or disabled.
DeleteI don't know the number of high schools in Lakewood . But there are probably enough, so everyone could take one girl, so technically this should not be called a crisis, if anything it's an ego crisis
ReplyDeletemore like if everyone would take 2 girls that would cover all 30.
DeleteNot enough girl schools
DeleteThere are at least 2 good girls high schools that had room to make another class or take more girls . But some parents just would not even apply.
DeleteThere are enough schools . Some schools just need more applicants. In Lakewood, its follow the crowd. Even if a school is good ,but its not the in school, then parents dont apply .
DeleteVery tragic but nobody has any business to live in the westbank
ReplyDeletekiryat sefer and beitar too?
DeleteReb shach made an exception for kiryat sefer because it was on the border line, and can be easily annexed, but not general west bank.
DeleteWhat about Bnei Brak, or Neve Yaakov, or Har Nof?
DeleteNever Yaakov was annexed previously.It is the only place with any relevance
DeleteSchool owners and administrators never fail to impress. After passing all entrance exams and social requirements I was told if you can't pay our price we have plenty other applicants. For the news zmam I was told by some wonderful human being to go collecting if I can't afford the tuition.
ReplyDeleteIt's either them collecting the shortfall or getting full tuition. In addition to it being a private enterprise. Not sure why they should undertake additional fundraising when they've parents able to pay in full. Seems fair to me that you should make up the difference.
Deleteלא נשכח:
DeleteSave the record of your conversation.
One day they will come knocking by your door for a donation for their school and you will have the last laugh!
So, please tell me another private enterprise where there are donors for their building?
DeleteAnd they're entitled to kiss up for everything
DeleteIt means rebbeim and yungeleit will get even more money than they already get and we will still have to hear how much they are struggling.
ReplyDeleteHuh? Rebbeim are not getting raises
DeleteTerrible that yungeleit get money. They should live on $320 per month, and thank the selfless baalebatim for making it happen.
Deletehttps://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/2217823/ywn-editorial-why-jackson-jewish-volunteer-ambulance-must-be-stopped.html
ReplyDeleteYWN is trash and filth a rabble rousing joke of a site with immaturity and disgust a clickbate media but a laughing stock to frum jews
DeleteYes it’s thanks to the balabatim you despise that you guys get even that much!
ReplyDeleteI don’t have a problem with them getting more than $320 a month but why should they have more than the average working guy and then we have to cover their bills by helping the yeshivas raise them and support the yt programs etc?
ReplyDeleteYou're right.
DeleteThe Yeshivaleit, when they were receiving $320 per month, were living it up. Vacations, fancy cars, expensive food, lavish simchos. The Yungeleit were living the high life, and the poor baalebatim were suffering. Now that the check increased, oy are they having a party.
/s
You want more than $320 a month? No problem go out to work and earn it. Don’t expect me to pay you to sit in yeshiva and hock about the terrible balabatim! Or even worse to post comments on hv. It’s not you who we celebrated at adirei hatorah.
ReplyDeletesomething tells me that you have never given a penny to pay anyone to sit in any yeshiva in your life. since you don't give anyway, you don't get to have a daya.
DeleteRabosai,
ReplyDeleteYou are forgetting מי מפרנס את מי
The באנקקוועטשער is supporting the baal
habattims own שכר לימוד as well as their lavish vacations, parties, bar mitzvahs and chasunas.
Problem is, who would remain then
ReplyDeleteThose with connections (all sorts) to sit around
The opposite of how it was intended to be originally
The balabatim I know aren’t taking lavish vacations or driving fancy cars. It’s the yungeleit that get an extremely discounted vacation while us balabatim can’t get away for two days with our kids. I’m not talking gevirim, I mean regular middle class hardworking people which is most working people you know.
ReplyDeletePlease stop with the "mai ahani lan rabbanan". My husband is a yungerman and we didn't take any vacation at all. I took 1 day off of work to play with my kids at a local park. Most kollel families that I know are living at a lower standard of living than the working families I know, both in terms of fixed and variable expenses. Admittedly the life of a working man is far more stressful though.
Deleteso what exactly do you want to happen? are you looking for a handout? i also am a hardworking balhabos and i can't afford to go on a real vacation but i don't expect others to give me stuff and i am able to fargin others.
DeleteThat the former comment is from a woman is improbable
DeleteSorry that was offensive. I am in fact a woman. I'm not looking for a handout at all. Just to set the facts straight
DeleteWhatever thing is telling you is wrong because I give a lot to support yeshivos and yungeleit every month.
ReplyDeleteSure
DeleteA lot of hot air. From multiple orifices
The entire discussion is extremely distasteful.
ReplyDeleteThe baaleboss who eats meat every day is not taking it away from the Yungerman. And the Yungerman who receives a subsidized vacation is not taking that away from the 'hardworking' baaleboss.
There is no conflict, why is somebody trying to stir one up?
I’m 100% pro those who are learning but the resentment towards them from some seems to come from the whole propaganda that portrays all rebbeim and everyone learning in Kollel as doing so with tremendous mesirus nefesh on a gasmiush level. This isn’t the 1960s or even the 1990s anymore. It frequently just isn’t true. Many rebbeim and those in Kollel are in fact living with a higher standard of living than those who aren’t . Therefore there is such resentment towards those who claim otherwise.
ReplyDeleteYou made an assumption that the balabus is eating meat every day, where did you get that from? I’m talking about regular balabatim who don’t eat meat more often than most yungeleit and maybe even less. Secondly why did you put hardworking in quotes? Are you suggesting they are not working hard? Typical stereotype by the guy in kollel who thinks anyone working sits on their recliner and millions of dollars just roll into his bank account. Most wealthy people work hard too and certainly the middle class.
ReplyDeleteThis last comment hit the nail on the head! Exactly my point yungeleit and rebbeim today are doing better than the average balabus in many ways.
ReplyDeleteThese arguments are very sad, as they keep on happening, and I think the reason is, we don't have a good framework for working men, if they
ReplyDeleteWould have learning programs mornings and at night it would not feel so much like us vs them
there are lots of learning programs all over town for working men.
DeleteThis town was never originally made for Wasn't supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteDavka.
Other places were by contrast.
Yet they insisted on coming HERE.
Despite advice to the contrary
Yungeleit living it up
ReplyDeletethis town wasn't supposed to be for either
But why does anyone care who is doing better?
ReplyDeleteIt is not on your expense, leave them alone
This umfarginshaft, from all sides, is repugnant.
If you see a yungerman/baaleboss enjoying life, be happy for him. How nice that he is enjoying a vacation! Why the commentary?
Sure it is at my expense.
ReplyDelete1. Bmg wants me to give them money
2. My kids want the same vacations as their friends whose father is in yeshiva.
1. Bmg wants me to give them money
DeleteYou have a choice - either give, or don't. Running your mouth off doesn't make any sense.
2. My kids want the same vacations as their friends whose father is in yeshiva.
Either focus on teaching your kids (and yourself) to be משמח בחלקם, or relocate to a place where there are fewer vacations going on.
Running elsewhere is weak.
DeleteWe are responsible for a better collective
Why should I leave Lakewood? Maybe yungeleit today should live the way I did when I was a yungerman and thousands of others did actually learning with mesiras nefesh. Not only did we not get free vacations, not only did we not get subsidized clothing and food before yt we didn’t even get a kollel check which was pennies compared to what it is today!
ReplyDeleteIs this a logical argument? There is zero focus on what's better - just outright comparison and jealousy.
DeleteList the pros and cons. of your argument.
Why is it not logical to expect a yungerman to live the way they used to? Why should a yungerman be getting a free vacation and subsidized food and clothing? If the idea is just to help other yidden who don’t have a lot there are thousands of “balabtim” struggling even more.
ReplyDeleteThis thread is a blight on the community.
ReplyDeletePeople have expectations of others, then they have logic to back their expectations.
How about minding your own business? How about not having or offering opinions into how another person lives his life? How about looking into your own plate, and nobody else's?
If a Yungerman has a vacation, he didn't take it from you. Why is it your business?
He did take it from me. I also want a free vacation
ReplyDeleteR Aaron is turning over looking at today’s yungerman living a life of gashmiyus even more than the average yeshiva man who grada works.
