<prompt> Human: Im looking into applying for SNAP food stamps in Georgia and noticed the application requires proof of income. I work as a barback at a local pub and my boss pays me in cash after every shift so I have no way to prove how much I make 150week. I have a feeling my boss wont want to verify my employment on paper to protect his own interests. Im also a college student. Is there any way around this?  <response>: Employers want to make you think they are doing you a favor by paying you under the table, but they are really screwing you over by doing this. They should be paying their portion of your Social Security tax, which you owe if they dont pay it. And if you dont report the income at all, it doesnt count toward your eventual SS benefits You will also not be covered by unemployment coverage if you get laid off in the future.
