{"product_id":"2940011255809","title":"How To Get Food Stamps, Welfare And Other Benefits","description":"\u003cp\u003eMillions of people miss out on benefits for which they are eligible. A USDA study showed that although over 40 million unemployed and underemployed people currently receive food stamps (SNAP), the study also estimated that another 20 million people fail to apply because they either do not know that they are eligible for benefits such as food stamps or do not know how to apply for benefits. For example, California, the largest state, has 3 million people whose incomes are low enough to qualify for food stamps but they simply do not apply for food stamps and other government benefit programs for which they are eligible. Those who qualify for one benefit program, such as food stamps, are often income-eligible for additional benefits, such as subsidized cell phones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMillions of Americans are just one paycheck away from becoming unemployment statistics.
