    You’ve confused the maximum possible benefit with what people actually get. Have a look at Texas’ calculator to see how it works: https://www.snapscreener.com/screener/texas

    By the way, it’s called SNAP, not “food welfare”. You seem proud of your ignorance on the topic, so I don’t imagine you’ll bother looking into it more, but I’d recommend learning a bit more about SNAP. Might help you learn empathy along the way

      No, I’m not confusing it at all.

      If you’re a single person, you will receive a little under $300 in welfare.

      Yes, I know it’s called SNAP. I choose to use language that other people can immediately understand because I’m not a pretentious loser. You should try it sometime.
