More SNAP changes coming Oct. 1
SUMMARY: Starting in October, SNAP benefits will increase, but eligibility requirements will also change. As a result of the Fiscal Responsibility Act signed by President Joe Biden, able-bodied adults without dependents (aged 52-54) will need to prove they are actively working, training, or in school to qualify for SNAP benefits. Previously, this requirement only applied to individuals aged 18-52. There are exemptions to the work requirements, such as homeless individuals, veterans, and youth who aged out of foster care. Those who fail to meet the work requirements will only be eligible for SNAP benefits for three months in a three-year period. Additionally, most SNAP recipients will receive larger benefit amounts in October due to a cost-of-living adjustment.

Mississippi teen murder suspect caught on camera in chilling footage after allegedly killing mother
SUMMARY: Carly Gregg, a 15-year-old from Mississippi, is on trial for allegedly murdering her mother, Ashley Smylie, when she was just 14. Disturbing kitchen surveillance footage reveals her calm demeanor post-shooting, as she appears to text and casually walk around, even as gunshots ring out. Following the incident, she attempted to ambush her stepfather, Heath Smylie, who testified that Gregg shot him too. Initially charged with murder and other offenses, she pleaded not guilty, and her defense is claiming insanity. Despite a plea deal of 40 years, she rejected it, now facing severe consequences.
