I know the easiest way to solve this argument…
Contact SNAP or read their eligibility requirements and see if this program was meant to be used by kollel or college students or not.
I was quickly scanning through their site and i noticed things like: not owning a car worth over $2k and Able-Bodied Adults should either work 20+ hours per week or join their Employment & Training program.
If someone truly fits their eligibility then kol hakavod (pun intended).
