Work Rules for SNAP Leave Disabled Man Stuck

New York City’s new SNAP work requirements are sparking outrage — especially for disabled residents like Michael Di Pippo, a double amputee who received a letter demanding 20 hours of work weekly. Confused and frustrated, he questioned how he’d meet such a demand without legs. Advocates say he should’ve been automatically exempt, and while the city fixed his case, he’s still stuck in bureaucratic limbo trying to figure out his benefits — all while struggling with inaccessible prosthetics his insurance won’t cover. These rules, meant to push people off welfare, are backfiring by leaving vulnerable folks even more stranded. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
