Please describe these hoops, because I think you must be talking about a different program. Maybe it's different in Texas?

Anyways, SNAP:

SNAP applications are available at any Social Security office. If you and everyone in your household are applying for or already getting SSI payments, any Social Security office will help you fill out the SNAP application and send it to the local SNAP office for you.

All others, including those applying for or getting only Social Security, must take or send their SNAP applications to the local SNAP office or to any Social Security office where a SNAP representative works.

When you are interviewed, you also should have:
•Identification such as a driver's license, state ID, birth certificate or alien card;
•Proof of income for each member of your household, such as pay stubs or records that show if Social Security, SSI or a pension for each member of your household is received;
•Proof of how much you spend for child care;
•Rent receipts or proof of your mortgage payments;
•Records of your utility costs; and
•Medical bills for those members of your household age 60 or older, and for those who receive government payments such as Social Security or SSI because they are disabled. Does this sound like a program designed to provide food for homeless people?
