    I believe we in Nebraska who are on Social Security as their only income for whatever reason would get from the President of the USA all stimulus money and all EBT benefits the elderly are getting. If you have an EBT card, you get the benefits the elderly are going to get. We need all the help we can get. Our Credit Cards are all maxed out tying to keep up with today’s inflation and the costs of living. It is very difficult on Social Security as your only income. WE NEED HELP

      Hi Daniel, I agree it’s very difficult to choose between medicine and food. I did hear that Social Security will be increased again in 2023. Hopefully inflation does not eat into those 2023 increases though. If you think you should be getting more food stamps check out the Nebraska food stamp calculator. It will estimate how much benefit you should be receiving.
