February 9, 2015   Subscribe Have you received SNAP benefits or do you know a lot about them? I have some questions. - BREAKING NEWS - WATCH: Unabashed Surfer Receiving Food Stamps to Buy Sushi and Avoid Work Published August 12, 2013 FOX NEWS INSIDER - It was during an investigation into the record number of food stamp recipients that Fox News’ John Roberts met Jason Greenslate, a surfer and rocker who is living the self-described “rat life” in California.The 29-year-old signed up for SNAP and receives $200 dollars a month in taxpayer money for food. He put it simply, “I don’t got a paycheck coming in, so I qualify.”All he has to do is provide his birth certificate and Social Security card and fill out a form once a year.In 1996, if you were an able adult with no family, you would only qualify for food stamps for three months every three years. President Obama wiped away those restrictions when he signed the 2009 stimulus bill. In 2010, the president used his regulatory powers to extend the suspension of the welfare-to-work requirements.

Greenslate is trained to be a recording engineer, but he told Roberts he has no paycheck because holding down a steady job isn’t for him.So, it was off to the gourmet section of the grocery store, as Greenslate purchased sushi and lobster with his EBT card. “All paid for by our wonderful tax dollars,” he said, telling Roberts that’s what he typically buys.“This is the way I want to live and I don’t really see anything changing,” Greenslate said.
