Do you feel the definition of low income needs to be reevaluated with current cost of living?

With today's high cost of living from utility bills, food prices and medical costs. Do you feel that the state's should change the qualifications for istance and if they don't change that they need to help those already struggling without penalizing them ? such as elderly (FIXED INCOME) on SSI, low income families trying to make it paycheck to paycheck. (Many don’t have credit cards or family to help) for example a family of 5(both parents together) making 19,000.00 a year gets 259.00 in food istance and that’s with their definition of utility allowance of 240.00 a month which is a combined gas electric and water on the utility allowance. I don’t know about yall but 240 is one bill by itself where I live. Plus I don’t know about yall but I send more than 259.00 a month for food and I am that a family of 5. If I work we have the added expense of daycare, which is also high, and istance programs disqualify my family from that help. before the hikes and food costs we were fine
