Food Stamps to Resume

 The Mississippi Department of Human Services issued the following statement. 

The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) announced today that it will begin partial distribution of SNAP benefits following official guidance from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). Beginning November 10, 2025, MDHS will distribute up to 65% of the November SNAP benefit allotment to SNAP recipients. Benefit amounts have been set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, not MDHS.

SNAP benefits are issued on a rolling basis between the 4th and the 21st of each month. Those recipients who typically receive their benefits between the 4th and 10thof the month will be included in the upcoming issuance of benefits as early as November 10. All other recipients will receive their benefits on their regularly scheduled issuance date.

In preparation for benefit issuance, MDHS encourages all SNAP clients to register their account at ConnectEBT.com and change their PIN number.  

SNAP recipients are advised to:

·         Register for a Connect EBT account and save ConnectEBT to their cell phone home screen and change their PIN after every use to reduce their risk of fraud and skimming. (See TUTORIAL)

·         Monitor all account transactions and report any suspicious activity to MDHS. https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/help/snap/snap-fraud/

·         Ensure all case information is current to avoid interruptions in benefits.

·         Follow MDHS social media channels for the latest updates on additional benefit funding and program announcements.

MDHS will continue to share information as updates become available. For the latest details, visit www.mdhs.ms.gov or follow official social channels.

I have a question? Why does JJ erroneously refer to SNAP benefits as “food stamps”? Is this a southern thing?

fully 50% of the people receiving these SNAP benefits are able bodies and able to work.

well over half of all welfare benefits are procured by way of fraud and the SNAP program is the runaway leader in the flim-flam that is ''government assistance''.

welfare for the poor has existed since the 1960s.
welfare for the rich has always existed.
welfare for the middle class has never existed.

to 632....you must really be wet behind the ears.
SNAP is the politically correct way to say food stamps.

just like drug addict junkies living on the streets and stealing everything that is not nailed own , must be referred to as ''unhoused''.

Same thing. When they turned to electronic cards, they changed the terms used. Vo-Tech now CTE (career technical education). Clearly trying to soften names, but it’s the same.

Listen up, MAGA grifters and grocery-store gospelers. You scream about “food stamp fraud” like you’re protecting the taxpayers, when what you’re actually doing is gaslighting the public to justify gutting help for people who are one missed paycheck away from real hunger. The federal numbers show that in FY2023 about 11 to 12 percent of SNAP payments were flagged as improper and that’s a mix of errors, administrative overpayments, and recoverable mistakes, not a nationwide crime spree of welfare thieves. States investigate thousands of cases, and real fraud is pursued. But the bottom line remains: deliberate SNAP fraud is rare compared with the program’s scale and the real problem of food insecurity.

And to the people pushing this garbage: your outrage is performative. You’d have more moral authority if you weren’t cheering for a man who was convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying records in the New York hush-money case. He was found guilty. He avoided punishment on procedural grounds tied to his office but the conviction stands. You defend him and then pretend to be offended by “fraud”? That hypocrisy is nauseating. If you care about honesty, start with your politics.

Call out the real priorities
If you want to fix SNAP, advocate for better fraud detection, smarter administrative systems, and targeted enforcement not GOP theater that punishes hungry families to score optics. And if you want to call out corruption, try doing it even-handedly. Don’t hide behind canned outrage while defending actual felonies.

Well Womp Womp, I just read an interesting article addressing that. India has turned to biometric ID for their version of SNAP. They’ve saved 20% since its introduction. I’ll bet you a Trump commemorative coin that any attempt to use that here in the US will be met with screaming indignation from the Democrats.

While there is almost certainly a lot of food stamp welfare fraud…there’s also a lot of folks (having been purposely held down by the Democrat Party and made dependent on government hand-outs in exchange for votes) that would not be able to feed their children without said SNAP/Food Stamps.

43 Democrat Senators, enough via the filibuster, voted to shut down the government…yet…not a ______ peep out of the leftist media as to how cruel this extortionist Democrat move was that postponed food for millions of American children.

One can only imagine the fake outrage, the fake sympathy, the wailing and gnashing of teeth…..that would have come from the corrupt leftist Democrat propaganda media (including from the local Yellow Dog Democrat and the local RINO syndicated columnists) had this been Republicans using denial of food for children in exchange for getting their way on a corrupt healthcare system that has caused premiums to skyrocket.

Snap benefits Are Food Stamps! Food is bought with the cards!

The same Democratic-voting shrieking masses who blamed Trump and the GOP for the shutdown are now chastising the Dem senators who "caved" and voted to end the shutdown. Which is it, liberals? The lack of consistency and false morality is astounding among the far left rainbow-haired warriors of "fairness".

9:00 PM/Womp Womps retard fake outrage claim of moral authority post gives us another example that always raises these questions:

1.) Are Democrats really stupid enough to believe that the Democrat Party of Crime and Love of Criminals convictions of their political enemy/Trump…..were actually real justified non-political convictions?

2.) Are Democrats narcissistic enough to believe that everybody else is just stupid enough to fall for their 34 felony counts convictions of their political enemy Trump scam?

Kingfish said...

Those convictions are getting thrown out on appeal and it won't be close. Can't prosecute federal law in state court. How sure am I? I'm willing to be your life on it.

All you bleeding heart Democratic liberals listen up. No one is starving in America. School kids get free breakfast & lunch at school. People & kids on welfare getting free Paid Housing, Medicare, Welfare assistance, Snap benefits, low-cost health insurance, low-cost internet & other assistance paid for by hard working taxpayers. The last 4 letters of American is I CAN. The last 4 letters of Republican is I CAN. The last 4 letters of Democrats are RATS. Enough said.

@ 9:00 Thank you! It needed to be said. These morons repeat the fictional statistics they heard on the Fear & Outrage Entertainment Network (a.k.a. Fox News) as if they could count their ears and get the same number twice. All it would take to change their minds is to actually, just once, need SNAP benefits.

Also, the original food assistance program, which started in the 1930s, was called Food Stamps because the government (Dept of Ag) issued stamps that could be used to "purchase" surplus produce. Later, in the 60's they started with the coupon books that many of used to see people use in the stores. My family had extended family to help and didn't ever need Food Stamps. However, some of my neighbors (solid, working, poor people) did. Back then, those people were reviled and stigmatized by self-righteous idiots for needing assistance feeding their children. Some things never change.

Here’s a fresh Nov. 11, 2025, 9:17 a.m. ET headline for 9:00 PM/Womp Womp:
“Cops called to Letitia James’ Virginia homes two dozen times since she bought them”
Pretty sure these are the “homes” pursuant to Letitia James being indicted on federal bank charges that allege she misrepresented how she would use the property to obtain a more favorable loan interest rate.

Used to be we said “Wah, wah.” “Wah” was the sound of crying. “Womp” meant to hit something or somebody. I don’t understand how “womp” morphed into “wah.” Nor do I understand how “threatened” came to be “thre-end,” the apparently preferred pronunciation among the social media/chattering class.

Free the SNAP.

It’s sad and concerning that President Trump, in this situation, instead of looking for ways to help get needy citizens benefits paid, he looked for every legal way to not get benefits paid.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
