A dramatic change of circumstances  -A A +A By Chuck Souder
Several years ago, the following letter was reportedly sent to a
resident of Greenville County, S.C.:  “Your food stamps will be
stopped, effective March 1992, because we received notice that
you passed away.  May God bless you.  You may reapply if your
circumstances change.”  We chuckle at that, perhaps because it
demonstrates how silly government agencies can be, but more
likely because even if the government doesn’t realize it, we
understand that if someone is dead, it’s not likely that their
“circumstances” will change.   Renew Current or Past
