Tennessee does not work that way. This family would be ineligible here.

Never Fear There are quite a few DHS employees because it is a big agency, and it has numerous low paying clerical positions.

that approves and disburses said stamps. This suggest to me they
may know more ways to arrange one's income or finances to make
themselves eligible for this nice benefit!

An exerpt:

But while the federal government sets these standards, it also gives states the leeway to modify them. Under a process known as “broad-based categorical eligibility,” SNAP applicants in dozens of states are now automatically considered eligible for food stamps if they’re already participating in a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

You're welcome.

I thought he had already done that. Wasn't that why he gave all those commissioners a raise right at the beginning of his term?

I've lived through the administrations of nine Tennessee governors, and Haslam is the first one that I think may actually be a little bit stupid.

Which of course translates into: "It's really awesome that some many Tennesseans are unemployed!"
