What this does not say it that you MUST make at least this amount of money to be eligible for food stamps! Someone with no job, no income, legally in the US, no children, and about to be homeless due to no income and unable to gain employment is NOT eligible for Food Stamps - They get to Starve !! How can I say this? I AM LIVING IT! I just got done from applying for a third time for food stamps and was told "You do not meet the income requirements to get food stamps, when you find employment or if anything else changes please reapply" . I lost my job, no longer receive unemployment, have no savings left and no income. I have no clue how I will get my next meal much less pay my next bill. and because I do not have a child at home, am not over 50, and do not have any income, I cannot get Food assistance. Tell me how that is helpful? Our Programs Are BS and are NOT there to help those who are truly in need.
This information was so helpful! Thank you!
