| [Washington Examiner] Montana’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin its February payments, worth up to $1,751, in 21 days. Montana distributes SNAP payments over five days each month, starting on the 2nd. February’s payments will be disbursed from Feb. 2 to Feb. 6. The date recipients get their payments depends on their SNAP case number, account number, Social Security number, or last name. The household size of recipients determines the size of their SNAP payments. Single-person households receive $291 per month, while eight-person households receive up to $1,751 per month. In households larger than eight, $219 is added for each additional person. To qualify for SNAP payments in Montana, a single-person household cannot have a net monthly income above $1,215, and an eight-person household cannot have a net monthly income above $4,214. SNAP benefits can be used at participating locations, including farmers markets and grocery stores. The payments are automatically loaded on an electronic benefits transfer card every month. |

| #4 In the future, when the snappers shuffle off this mortal coil, their remains will be sent to the protein banks for recycling. So in a sense, you can look at this as a form of urban livestock farming. To some, this may sound like cannibalism by proxy, but in fact their nutrients were paid for by the State and therefore belong to the State. After all, when they became part of SNAP, they literally became part of SNAP. Read the fine print. tl;dr: SNAP is people! |

| #2 "can be used at participating locations, including farmers markets" I'm betting there's not going to be a lot at a Montana farmer's market in February. Except potatoes. Frozen potatoes. |

| #1 It's like building a small water well in an empty desert area. You'll suddenly have hundreds (if not thousands) of folks camped around it. |
