7. SNAP eligibility requirements are established by Federal law.

State and local jurisdictions responsible for processing applications receive applications online, with offices closed years ago as part of streamlining and staff reductions and application processors working from home – there’s no physical site for applicants to go.

Those with no access to a computer must go to a designated location to submit an application online, again absent any staff and devoid of hard-copy applications.

The systems that manage public assistance programs are automated, open SNAP grants would need to be closed manually, then reprocessed and reopened all at one time – the workload would be far too burdensome.

Trump believes – incorrectly – that many won’t reapply; Trump is as ignorant of public assistance as he is ignorant of everything else.
