    I was on hold today from 2:00pm until almost 3:30 without gettng through. Need to request late paperwork request for my brother Richard Jewett. He doesn't read well and when confused will mail documents to me for clarification. Only problem is that I am in Florida so his requested form and documentation will be late.

    I was told that I have been approved for SNAP. All I had to do was send back the landlord statement and other paperwork and I would get the Benefit card. This was a month ago and still nothing. I have been calling and have been on hold for hours, no one answers the phone. Very discouraging.

    I received a letter stating I missed the call from snap. So I called and I have been on hold over 2 hours. I hung up and called back and was told to call at a later time.

    I have been calling about a problem with SNAP 111 Westfall tells me to call St Paul location tor they now handle all active Snap cases . I have been on hold ALL DAY every day for 2 weeks, No answer ever and 111 Westfall Rd continues to get calls that St Paul is not picking up. Case workers at 111 are just as frustrated with St Paul not picking up, People are calling Medicaid Workers to ask about SNAP.

    I was on hold for over 1:30 minutes for 3 days straight finally got through, didn't really get an straight answer on where my extra benefit was, just told me this week or next, well next is a new month. So does no good to call people, should be treated better than this.

  10. 2024-07-17 11:44:03
