Marcia Fudge (not Martha) is the one who introduced the "Pandemic-EBT" act (H.R.6200 - Pandemic EBT Act of 2020) within minutes of President Trump declaring a pandemic (exactly four years ago today).
It's almost like she knew there would be a pandemic ahead of time. We know congress members don't write their own bills, they have K Street interns to do that for them. But those interns were ready. They knew a pandemic would be declared on that day.
The biggest smoking gun to me is that in California the EBT cards are made of yellow plastic but the P-EBT cards were made of white plastic meaning they didn't come from the same stock. Why then did the white Pandemic EBT cards have a copyright date on the back of the card saying 2017?
Same card, but my parents went from couple of hundred to $95 for two persons without pandemic. Any regular unemployed or illegals probably could get up to $295 or less if employed part times.
Don't look for changes anytime soon. SNAP benefits and the factors that determine eligibility are outlined by the Farm Bill. The Farm Bill was due in 2023 but it was never done. Biden just extended the previous one from 2018.
I don't know if it helped that John Fetterman was a chairman on that committee.
