SNAP Renewal Nightmare: Wrong Department, Can't Get Through. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The SNAP renewal process is a nightmare. I spent hours on the phone last month trying to get through to someone who could actually help me. It's like they purposely make it difficult 🙄

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/jzISHxCPLwE

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open in the morning. I've had better luck getting through that way.

Have you checked if you can renew online? Some states let you do it through their website now. Might save you the headache of calling altogether.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with SNAP for years: • Always keep a record of who you talk to and when • Ask for a direct number or extension if possible • If you get the wrong department, ask them to transfer you instead of hanging up • Be persistent! Sometimes you gotta call multiple times • Check your state's SNAP website for specific renewal instructions • If all else fails, contact your local representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through Hope this helps! Don't give up, OP. You got this! 💪

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy. where everything's made up and the points don't matter 🤡

Anybody else think its crazy that we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get food on the table? SMH
