They only see what you give them... They get HUNDREDS of request a day... They just skim your info.. It's hard to grasp until you get involved in it.. And IL is one of the few states that just gives away money, most other states actually do check you by your social and do background checks.. If that happened IL's foodstamp usage would drop to maybe...65% tops? rough guess.. I'm not saying everyone on it doesn't need it.. Hell I'd love to have it.. BUT in the end, some people do need it, others don't.. It more or less comes down to do you have a lazy rep that files for you..
