Anyone else get a huge increase in food stamp allocation?

I know a lot of you consider this a useless :entitlement" I worked hard all my life, my social security check barely covers rent and utilities. If it weren't for the $70.00 food stamps I get I wouldn't be able to put anything on the table, other than the little from food banks. I was SHOCKED this month when I received nearly $240.00 in food stamps, it was sheer godsend. Anyone else experience this? I'm in mystified😱 as to why.

Next month you'll probably get a bill for the difference instead!

@lostforwords Thought of that, can't get blood out of a turnip, and my Social Security is set up so they can't garnish it.
