According to a story on WLRN Public Radio and Television in South Florida, people waiting to receive disaster food stamps (D-SNAP) in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, following Hurricane Irma, have been subjected to extremely long lines, and sparse accommodations for people with disabilities.
The long waiting lines have prompted the University of Miami Workers Center to file a lawsuit requesting federal judges to provide a way for people who aren't able to stand in exceedingly long D-SNAP application lines due to a disability.
Because of fraud concerns, there is currently no way to apply for disaster food stamps online or over the telephone. Over the next week, there is to be a decision made on whether or not to amend the rules, due to the hardship placed on disabled individuals.
