Caseworker and the caseworker I had tht morning was Ms Barend ,or Ms Bernard … and when I saw her she said what can I do for you today an I told her that I was hereto see what was going on about my snap benefit an I told her that i had brought information into the office on the 4-14-2015 and she told me tht they don’t have any information that I had brought in an I told her that ths place has camera an I also told her the Secretary I spoke with and the caseworker told me that they don’t have any thing from me and tht I had to go from the date tht I came n to see her which was the 5-5-2015…an I told her that i want to appeal my case…so she gave me the appeal sheet to fill out n leave it with the Secretary at the front desk and I did tht…Today I call back 5-11-2015 to see when my snap benefit will be on an the caseworker I had on the phne told me that it was too soon…because I had appealed it…in to remind you that I did everything before the 4-14-2015 …its almost a month and why do I have to pay for their mistakes and I really want to know who do I talk to about this an you can only go to the food pantry once a month…it’s not fair …3096457648 is my number wht dothey exspect me to do…
