About 20 years ago I was applying for food stamps, and during the process I informed the caseworker that I made a few bucks a week collecting and returning 5 cent soda cans. She informed me that I had to call her and report this as it was extra income. So the next day I did, 9:30 a.m. "hi, this is me, I found a nickel can." 10:00 "hi this is me, I found another can." 11:00 "hi I found another can." That afternoon when I made my 5 call, she told me I no longer had to report my "extra income" I never heard anything more about it.
