"maybe for those able to work"


 You are all correct in my opinion.  This is an opinion.  Needles is correctly addressing that higher wages would reduce SNAP participants, assuming of course food cost does not equally increase with wages.  This ignores humans that do not work.

 MnSpring is correct, in my opinion, this is an opinion, that multiple SNAP participants are abusing the system.  This ignores all of the participants that are actually in need or disabled.  

 Increasing wages will not stop most abuse, in my opinion, since abuse is by choice in most cases investigated specifically towards SSI/SSDI/SNAP/etc. and not by those in legitimate need.  Humans that can not work, and the elderly would have no wages in my opinion.  This ignores all the abuse.

 Increasing SSDI counts towards SNAP income evaluations.  

 Wage increase needs to be considerably higher than food cost for SNAP to be impacted, and also, SNAP program(s) need to be scrutinized more or limited to reduce abuse.

 The real problem is humans claiming abuse will claim higher numbers of abuse than what is happening, and humans claiming abuse is not that common will downplay the numbers.  This is an opinion.  This post is an opinion.

 The previous sentences indicate this post is an opinion.
