Just like the title says. I uploaded the required documents to the Manage My Case portal on August 2nd and am thinking of calling sometime next week to see about getting someone to at least look at them so I don't end up losing my food stamps. Each state should have their recipients have their own caseworker instead of just whoever answers the phone first.

For those of you in Illinois, does anyone know when the state will update their Link cards to have either Chip or tap capabilities like other states are doing?

Anyone else like water rather than soda or other beverages? Don't get me wrong, I like drinking maybe 1 or 2 cans of soda depending on my mood but anymore I'd rather drink some ice cold water than have a lot of soda.

Just to let everyone know. Once you update your password to meet the new requirements, select "Store/Club - NextGen Pilot Site" as your location and put the store # in like normal. Hope this helps with the login issues.

Just like the title says. I've been doing Epsom salt baths for the past few nights after I get home from work and I feel like this flare isn't coming to a head (pun intended). What else can I do to bring it to a head before I call my new dermatologist's office on Monday to get an appointment? It's on my right butt cheek, making it hard to sit or lie down. I work at our local Walmart Th-Sun each week as a customer host (fka door greeter) and already plan on getting some diaper rash cream for it as well as some witch hazel stuff when I get paid.

Just like the title says. I haven't seen a dermatologist yet but I have this big lump that feels like it has at least 2 "sacs" that hurt like no other. I keep getting it on my right butt cheek for some reason. I am a 36F and don't know anything about HS.

Just like the title says. The last few days I've been dealing with some pretty bad pressure in my right eustachian tube and was wondering if anyone's had balloon dilation done that relieved the pressure in the tube?

For those of you wondering how my redetermination and interview issue has been, I have excellent news. My redetermination showed up in ABE on July 14th and I completed it that morning. I did my phone interview this afternoon and submitted the proof for the property taxes that I paid them as well onto ABE shortly after I did the phone interview. They should have everything they need to process it and let me know my new SNAP amount that I'll be receiving each month until next year's redetermination and interview.

Just like the title says. Normally by this time I'd have my yearly redetermination completed and I'd be waiting to go down to the office to do my interview. This year, I haven't heard anything or received any notices on my Manage My Case account (Illinois). Should I call them first thing on Monday when they open and see what's going on and ask if I can get it done over the phone?

Just like the title says. This week the heat indices are going to be triple digits all week. Stay hydrated and stay inside with the A/C going as much as possible.

Just like the title says. Pictures during walks are from the main shopping app. They're not AI. Hope this helps!

I think the perfect size for a reusable insulated water bottle is 32oz. I was able to purchase a new 32 oz Ozark Trail Rose Pink water bottle from my local Walmart the other day and it's completely replaced my 36 oz dented Yeti Rambler. I promise I'm not a bot and I'm just telling people the kinds of bottles I'm either currently using or have used in the past.

Does anyone else deal with pimples on scalp not quite 3 years post TAH-BS (Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingectomy)?

Has anyone else been gaining a bunch of weight since their last gynecologist visit? My last visit was 09/23/2025 and I weighed 100.8 lbs (100 lbs, 12.8 ozs) and tonight I weighed 110.8 lbs (110 lbs, 12.8 ozs). I'm going to be talking to my primary doctor as well as my gynecologist in August and September respectively to get to the bottom of it.

Has anyone had horrible pimples several years after their hysterectomy? If so, what have you done to alleviate them?

Has anyone had to stop taking antihistamines two weeks before endoscopy? If so, how did you cope?

I'm part time and with the schedule that dropped this morning I'm short a total of 4 hours. 2 on June 4 and 2 on June 5. I'm scheduled to come in at 11:00am on both of those days instead of 8:00am. How many hours of PPTO/PTO do I put in for both of those days?

I live in central IL and was wondering if the redetermination interview can be done by phone or does it have to be done in person?

Can anyone in IL help me with my ebtEdge app problem? I've just been locked out AGAIN until midnight because I can't remember my security code (NOT PIN). Who do I contact to get my security code? Please answer!
