Why not apply and find out.
I think most states have a welfare website now with an online application...seriously.

I'm pretty sure they don't count loans as income.
They should count your school and volunteer time towards any work requirement.
Other than that, who knows. There are too many pointless little boxes to tick.

You should, I think they take in account your yearly income and that determines if you're eligible. They don't count college loans but they will count any outside income you receive.

Yes, if you work for Wal-Mart, you are eligible for Food Stamps, Welfare income, and all the free stuff.

I dont know but I know you can get better food than baloney sandwiches for $25 a week. I'd rather eat rice and potatoes than I would baloney. Makes me want to throw up just thinking about it.

Maybe they think students are more likely to still be dependent on parents. My guess is if your parents are paying any of your bills you're not going to qualify because it'll be assumed that they can pay for your food as well.

Re: should i be eligible for food stamps?
If you live with your parents - no

If you're on your own - yes

It's pretty much automatic for three months with practically no questions asked I heard. Then free cell phone, next fuel assistance. Then low income housing and you're there....commie paradise.

But seriously if you need it you should get it. I think under $13,000 qualifies.

I'd just be afraid of being on some kind of government list that I might regret being on later. But that's just me being paranoid and afraid of FEMA camps. LOL!

Re: should i be eligible for food stamps?
Oh yeah, alot of it factors on if you're independent or not. If you're 21 and over you can be declared an independent and still live with your parents but if not, then I believe they factor in that you're provided food from your family. It may be different in each state though so just try it out. If it all fails, there's lots of stuff you can do with ramen.

The idea of getting assistance always made me paranoid too.
I've always got this lurking suspicion that nothing comes for free and somewhere on page 23 of the forms you're signing yourself over to science in exchange for some vegetables that should have been free to begin with.
