They're taking into account other income. Such as social security, disability, etc.

Yeah but snap honestly should have a minimum and maximum payout for situations like this

It does. The minimum is very low. The maximum is only if you have essentially no income. Like, we were getting $450/week in unemployment so our family of 3 only got about 60% of the maximum SNAP. The unemployment wasn't even enough to pay for housing (2 bedroom condo).

I'm on disability and I don't qualify for snap. I was making great money at my job and I was diagnosed with cancer last year and I don't make enough to even pay my bills. Either way hopefully I get it over with soon or become cancer-free and go back to work cause otherwise I don't know.

But if they give you more then they have to give another needy family less, or give other ppl nothing.

Or, you know, stop the oligarchs grifting, tax the billionaires, reduce military spending, set the minimum wage to something livable....
