So.. i no longer have a pfp

When a government agency proposes a rule change like this, they legally must have a public comment period before finalizing it. AND they have to read and respond to those comments in the final draft of the regulation. Not enough people are aware of this , but it can really have an impact!!

This link will take you to the Federal Register page for the proposed rule, where you click the big green button to Submit a Formal Comment

Your comment can be as long or short as you'd like- it can just be one sentence! The key is to clearly STATE YOUR SUPPORT for the proposed rule. You can also look at other existing comments for support.

If you have personal experience with disability benefits, especially the reduction of benefits from free meals/groceries, those are great to include. They like to hear from people personally impacted by these changes, or know people who are.

The public comments must be submitted by April 17, 2023.

When you write it, make sure to include the sentance: ‘This public comment regards Docket No. SSA-2021-0014′ or some variation on it. Make sure to include ‘Docket No. SSA-2021-0014′ or else your comment WILL NOT BE INCLUDED.

The public comments are registered with the record ONLY if they included ‘Docket No. SSA-2021-0014′.

Please, please comment. 

As of now, February 22, 2023, there are 214 comments. I am not sure how many of those comments included the ‘Docket No. SSA-2021-0014′ tag, so I’m not sure how many will be included with the public comments that will be registered.

to repeat:

glad to see people going back on their words and actually acknowledging how quick they were to point unsubstantiated fingers
