I got food stamps benefits in the past, that reapplication process was incredibly stressful because something always goes wrong due to bureaucratic fuckups I had no control over, and then I would have to wait on hold on the phone for six hours on a weekday to fix it. Obviously these people know this and want it to be even worse for everyone on the program, fuck them. They know there’s tons of people who qualify who don’t bother because of how confusing and shitty the application is.
I was on it 25 years ago and they actually gave you emergency food stamps just for walking in and filling out the paperwork, so you could eat that day. They changed that law along with most others that would be helpful to people.

Tried applying months ago, kept getting hung up and having to wait for the next step to be approved, finally gave up.
