Stopped by the Food Stamp Office today to see if
I could possibly register today instead of Tuesday. Police and
National Guardsmen were all over the place. One stopped me
before I even walked through the door and asked me if I was
there to register for Disaster Relief Food Stamps. I said,
'yes'. He said, Registration starts tomorrow from 8am - 6pm
Tuesday through Monday. He told me what was necessary to bring
and in addition, to bring proof of income. I
told him I did not know that was necessary for this. He said,
'yes, it is'. So, for a family of two, income cannot exceed
$2,700 per month, for a family of three, income cannot exceed a
little over $3,000. He said, 'If you make more than $2,700 per
month for a family of two, it's no use to come'.
