Um my son was 16 for 10 months. In 2025. An he's disabled an I'm 65 on SS. 500 doesn't buy my son food for a month. There's no exseptions? I make less then 20 grand a year. I get no public assistance.

Sorry, no exceptions.  That is from the tax code.

My son was 16 for 10 months in 2025, he's disabled an jam 65 on SS 500 won't buy groceries for him for a month. We don't get any assistance from dhs. I was counting on that.
