I have been inundated with texts both from numbers and short codes from PartnerPros, Justborrow, GoChecks, Fintara,.... I do not open them I immediately block the number and send to junk, the codes I can only junk but not block. I am on an iphone and have the crappy ATT Active Armor which does nothing. Is there any way to filter or block other than unknown sender the texts?? They are also sending me emails from different senders- street loan, Pulse, Cashemeum cedarcreek financial, red arrow loans- most are coming from manymail.io and opengatecash.com, info@prosperloan.com

Looks like all these are spam companies & someone got my info and is having a heyday. How do I stop this??

I have checked my accounts etc and there isn't any unusual activity.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a spammer that just paid all your bills? Thanks for any help or suggestions!!

I swear I am going to have a nervous breakdown from this.

Last week I got a letter "Notice of expiration of Certification" it says "Your CalFresh Certification period will end on 6/30/26" "You must file an application no later than the 15th of the last month of your certification period"
In which I interpreted as June 15 is the deadline for my application to be turned in.

"You will get a separate letter with an interview date and time"

Today I got the appointment letter it says "my appointment is 6/1/2026 8:15AM"

Why is my appointment before my 15 day deadline to get my application in?

Also if they don't recertify me since it is 6/1 and my snap money gets loaded on 6/3 will they take away snap for June??

I don't feel good with having this appointment on the first day at the first hour of the business day with all of this new policy is happening. I am afraid I will get turned down quickly because of it since no kinks have been worked out or figured out. What am the first person on the list??? Why am I getting an interview before my due date??? Please help! Thank you!!

My renewal is up in June in los Angeles California . I am happy to work. I want to work. I've been looking for work so much it is causing severe depression. The thought of losing snap and my ability to look for work via internet which I will not be able to afford if removed is making everything worse causing overwhelming anxiety.
Here is my situation-
I have sensory issues and have panic, anxiety disorders. I get claustrophobic and agoraphobia. I do not touch people, want to be touched or other people's food or personal items. Have sensory overload in situations that turn into debilitating panic. I also don't drive long distances and can't take public transportation. This has only gotten worse as i have gotten older now over 60.
I had done well in my previous career until The bottom dropped out of the industry and jobs became
Scarce. I had workarounds I established over the years because of the uniqueness of my job. I have never worked outside of my field in my entire life.
I have been applying for jobs in other industries and seen a career counselor.
I have a therapist i see regularly and am on medication. I am
not fully disabled but limited. If my therapist wrote a letter would that get me exempt? I want to work I need to work and I already volunteer but only for a couple hours and it works for me because it is a place nearby and I don't get overwhelmed but they cant give me 80 hours.
What do I do to be able to keep my snap?

I posted about the ABAWB, and how hard I am having trying to find a job. I just had a panic attack that if I lose my SNAP because I can't get the job hours etc then I will lose my discounted phone and internet that I need to find a job. I can't afford either without the discount. How can I find work if the tools I need are taken away? How am I supposed to not fall into black hole poverty. Los Angeles, CA

My SNAP is up for recertification in June in Los Angeles CA. My primary career has been freelance in film industry, but that has taken a nose dive since 2023. Although, I am constantly being put "on hold" for jobs but none of them have booked this year. How can I reflect that? In the meantime I have been voraciously applying for jobs for the last several years. It is a full time job looking for work. I have had very little response with the exception of the scammers. Interviews that take one look at me and it is over.

I am applying to literally everything grocery, costco, TJ, home depot, target, etc . Nobody will hire me. I had mad skills but it doesn't translate outside the industry. I went to a career counselor and did a resume for other industries that I submit. I am in okish physical condition but can't do heavy lifting or manual labor due to compression fractures and osteoporosis. My mental state has degraded significantly due to long term unemployment and loss of my career as well as many deaths in my family. I am struggling to get through each day. I have been in survival mode and losing my SNAP which is the only thing keeping me alive is going to drown me.

I WANT to work but am NOT getting hired. I am an older woman who looks like an older woman. I volunteer for animal rescue but won't be able to get that many hours. All I do is apply for jobs, ask people for work, beg people to refer me, and cry all the time. I don't know what to do! I hate this. I have no issue with working, I am not getting hired. How do you get help when you can't make someone hire you?

How can I keep my SNAP? How am I supposed to make it?

I have worked hard all my life and now when I need the help they push the age requirement it is cruel (and for all those others this BBB change is affecting)

I hate Cap one. They did the bait and switch when I signed up. I have a card of theirs already, and they have the highest interest rates and won't negotiate. I have a great credit score. I was not happy that they purchased Discover, and now I don't want 2 Cap one cards. Are they going to keep the 5% categories and the current interest rate?
