Myth #5: SNAP completely covers the costs of food for recipients Fact: SNAP was built to supplement household food costs, not completely cover them. In fact, prior to the Thrifty Food Plan update, SNAP did not cover the cost of a low-income meal in 96% of U.S. counties. https://t.co/Ga1kooiQAA — PolitiTweet.org

Myth #4: SNAP disincentivizes work Fact: A majority of SNAP recipients who can work, do work. More than 80% of SNAP households work in the year before or the year after receiving SNAP. https://t.co/v8XoClNqw5 — PolitiTweet.org

Myth #3: SNAP is rife with fraud Fact: SNAP fraud is exceedingly rare. According to the Congressional Research Service, less than .01% of benefits have been mistakenly issued due to recipient fraud. https://t.co/02FnPEkkPJ — PolitiTweet.org

Myth #2: Charities can replace the help SNAP provides Fact: While food banks provide meals for food-insecure communities, SNAP is far more wide-reaching and efficient. SNAP delivers nine times more food to people than all the food banks in the country. https://t.co/VV6rhAqPjl — PolitiTweet.org

Myth #1: SNAP drains the economy Fact: For every dollar utilized by a SNAP recipient, $1.79 is infused into their local economy. Additionally, SNAP lowers healthcare costs by nearly $1,400 per person. https://t.co/mIH2eluwJ1 — PolitiTweet.org

That is the reality today for the CT State Police. My prayers are with the family, who are still receiving notifications, and the entire CT State Police force. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

I am devastated to hear of the passing of a Connecticut State Trooper from yesterday’s severe weather event. Every time an officer puts on the uniform and leaves home, they are putting themselves in harm’s way and there is a possibility they won’t return.(1/2) https://t.co/SaVWfq8sYF — PolitiTweet.org
