Two Philadelphia people pled guilty to using counterfeit money
SUMMARY: In Pascagoula, Mississippi, three individuals—Christopher Nolan and Astra High from Philadelphia, and Bailey Gonzales from Pascagoula—pled guilty to possessing counterfeit currency intended for use. They aimed to pass fake money in the Pearl River Community of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians but were caught when something appeared suspicious. Investigated by the U.S. Secret Service and Choctaw Police, the defendants are set to be sentenced on February 4, 2025, with each facing a potential twenty-year prison sentence.

SUMMARY: Starting this month, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) beneficiaries will see a slight increase in their benefits due to a cost-of-living adjustment. Households will receive a few extra dollars monthly, with higher amounts for residents of Hawaii, Alaska, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam to account for elevated food prices. Additionally, there is a change in income eligibility, raising the net monthly income threshold for a family of four from $2,500 to $2,600. This update follows the program’s aim to assist families with food costs effectively.
