Phew what a week and it's not even over yet. Got a letter from DHS mentioning closure of our family food benefits and I was in the horn with them for most of the afternoon trying to figure out what the hell happened to the paperwork I filed to update us in the systems. As it turns out they are backlogged by at least two months. So there may be a delay on food benefits for next month which the worker told me to call and let them know so that they can push through and make sure that it's covered.
@PaganMother Hopefully it gets sorted quickly! It amazes me that they seem to have the manpower to cut off things, but not enough to process the stuff you already had submitted. It's not really the fault of the regular workers, they're doing the best they can, but those in charge really need to increase the number of people they have on hand to do these things.
@glassramen I completely agree. Yeah they do have a shortage of people in our area.
@PaganMother Sadly it really does seem there's always a shortage. Got my own stuff with gov programs, and it takes so incredibly long due to lack of case workers. I'm hoping things go well for ya
@glassramen I hear you, I'm hoping it changes soon. I mean it's been a problem for decades that they've slacked off on actually filling up their ranks with actual people instead of teleprompters.
