There is an internal breech in the system of Nassau County department of Social Services. My information was compromised and my cash benefits were withdrawn last night at an out of state ATM. I’ve had friends and family who reported their food stamps vanishing leaving them with a $0.00 balance immediately after it was deposited on their card. This is a huge injustice and something needs to be done

The Department has been laid seized by internal racketer of Scammers not Skimming machines. New York it self is not addressing the problem but many are being robbed of their food, shelter allowance. The system has been breached by individuals within. The Department overhaul and each individual should investigated. The scamming is very big.

My son is considered to be disabled by New York State and had been eligible for SNAP based on his disability and the amount of income that he has, and he received a minimum amount from the government for this each month, because his income was too high, believe it or not. Last year, I received a letter in the mail alerting me that my son has been dropped from the SNAP program bssed on him making too much in salary.. So as any good person looking over my son’s welfare would, I questioned this determination, and I was flat out told by Social Services that I should “be proud” that he did not quality for the program anymore, because that basically meant that in the eyes of the government, he was making too much money, and “making too much money” is always a good thing, right? We were told what his cutoff date was, and that last time we used his SNAP money was probably in the fall, where we used his money to purchase bottled water for him, pretty much what we used the money for since they were giving him less money than you could buy a Whopper meal at Burger King each month (something you can’t purchase using SNAP, but I think you get my point). So the months went on, my son continues to work, and we don’t even think about SNAP, because we were told via letter and via a Social Services representative that he isn’t in the program anymore. And then came the mail on Saturday … We received notification through the mail that our son had money in his SNAP account, and since he didn’t use the account approaching 244 days, he would lose the money if it wasn’t used by the end of September. OK, perhaps my wife and I miscalculated or we were told the incorrect date to stop using SNAP, so perhaps all we have to do is use the money one more time and that would be that. No problem … But that itself is not the problem. The problem is that on Saturday, our son set what most certainly is a Guinness World Record by receiving this information in 84—yes, count them, I certainly did—84 separate letters affirming the same thing. And the selection of the 84 letters that he received that I opened contained letters in not just English, but in other languages like Spanish, and they all have different dollar amounts related to how much is still in our son’s SNAP account, anywhere from $16 up to over $200. So obviously today, I have tried to contact Social Services, which is akin to contacting the President of the United States for a one-on-one interview. I have called several different numbers, been disconnected a few times, was directed to numbers that were not operable, and left three messages without callback. If you wonder where your money as taxpayers goes, the 84 letters we received about this cost taxpayers more than $40 to send out, when one alert would have cost us 49 cents. So yes, that is where the money you pay for taxes each year goes … right into the garbage pail, put there by a department which is completely incompetent.

Madison Wadsworth you’re miserable. You better pray your family never needs help for anything. And tbh your tax dollars you cry about barely goes to anyone who is reviving government assistance. Government is assistance is funded through the government not based off of tax dollars. Suck it up and quit complaining because one day your kids may need the very same system you complain about under ever post.

Contact your case worker at DSS. Housing is a very scarse thing. If it is a apt and not a emergency housing situation, you might want to say put.
