Someone Is Wrong

We have conflicting information about Food Stamps today. In the LVRJ, they write a story about food stamps, the rising number of recipients and how people can sign up for it.
They put out this chart with the maximum income limits:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
Nevada recipients
2008 147,361
2009 209,999
2010 283,683
Maximum monthly incomes to qualify
One-person household $1,806 a month
Two-person household $2,430 a month
Three-person household $3,052 a month
Four-person household $3,676 a month
Five-person household $4,300 a month
Six-person household $4,922 a month

So, according to the LVRJ, a family making $59,000 is eligible for food stamps. That doesn't make much sense. Hell, with a family of 4, I almost qualified for food stamps, according to the LVRJ.
But according to the Nevada Division of Health and Human Services, the income requirements are much lower, or 130% of the poverty level.
Household Size Maximum Gross Maximum Net
1 $1,127 $867
2 $1,517 $1,167
3 $1,907 $1,467
4 $2,297 $1,767
5 $2,687 $2,067
6 $3,077 $2,367
7 $3,467 $2,667
8 $3,857 $2,967
Each additional person $390 $300

So, I am pretty sure the LVRJ got it wrong today and there are going to be a lot of disappointed people out there when they find out that they could have gotten food stamps because of the LVRJ article.

And please remember, the Democrats are slashing the Food Stamp budget for teachers and other public union members.
