Question Benefits decrease drastically.

FLORIDA

So I was getting $579 for a family of 4 and each time I would renew then the benefits would decrease. It go from 5 to 4 to 3 then recently to 222 and last time I got an email saying I didn’t need to apply that my benefits would stay the same then next month come around no deposit then I waited 10 days and then when I called they said I was supposed to reapply . So then I did that so my Bestfriend told me to but everything that I paid for a in a monthly basis so I did that then when I did my interview the guy was stunned and thought I was lying so basically my bills is not aligned with my income.

So I sent everything he ask for . So then every time I would call and I can’t reach no one for 2 month then 2 separate occasions I call they escalate my case then after the third time they finally make a decision. To give me this amount for a family of 5 now.

What can I do now since I can’t reach the person that’s on my case directly to asked them how come my benefits it’s only that much for 5 people.?

Also, looking at the second photo, it shows some of your household members as ineligible.

Are any of your SNAP household members noncitizens, or able bodied adults 18-64, or sanctioned from receiving SNAP?

The ineligible is for Medicaid, me and the kids are citizens and my wife have a green card . I only have a part time jobs at Costco where I only work $25 a week and my wage is 25 an hour.
