Food Stamps eligibility requires you HAVE A JOB, yes you read that right....

My mother was talking to a neighbor who went to see if
why she gets some food stamps but her son doesn't, he lives
with her and is 20 and goes to college( scholarship ) but is
not eligible.


Supposedly now if you're a son or relative of a person in
food stamp program then other things apply,
unless you have a job( part time/full, it must be 20 hours
atleast) you do not get food stamps support.


Does that make any sense?, why would you need food stamps
support if you got a job?, isn't food stamps for people who
do not have a job and need food to live?.

Maybe they want to make sure your not sitting at home collecting all sorts of checks from different agencies : unemployeement, disability, SS, welfare, etc.

Someone working 20 hours a week at minimum cannot support a family very well. So they need help

The mom is on SSI and she gets some food stamp support but

she wanted to know why her son who is in school doesn't

get any, that's when they told her he needed to have a job

and go to school at the same time to receive support.


She didn't understand why he needed a job, if he had a job

he wouldn't be asking for food stamps, I think food stamps

should be given to anybody who doesn't have a job NOT to

those that have a job, they got money to buy food unlike

a jobless person.

I'm 21, with no job, and no income, and pay no rent or utilities and live with my girlfriend's mom and they still give me food stamps.

STUDENTS are ineligible!...been that way all along! nothing new

Being in school full time qualifies you for food stamps and you don't have to be working. If someone told her otherwise they were yanking their chain.

He is probably ineligible because he has no living expenses.

Here are the rules for students:

There are special rules that apply to college students who between 8 and 50 years old. A student who is attending college part- or full-time must meet specific rules to be eligible for SNAP/Food Stamps:

If you are 18-49, and meet one of the following:

* Get federal or state work-study monies, or
* Work 20 hours or more per week, or
* Have a child under the age of 12 in the home (further rules apply), or
* Take part in an education or job training program operated by the government, or
* Are disabled and receive a disability based benefit.

Does he have a white sounding name?

He is probably ineligible because he has no living expenses.



Exactly, I have food stamps, and they run you through a screener to see if you are eligible.

One thing they look for is if you live with anyone else who has food stamps, if you do they usually wont give you them, especially if its your mother...

If they took food stamps away from people who are unemployed there would be riots

They said he needs to have both, a job and full time college to be eligible

He is probably ineligible because he has no living expenses.

No, that is not true.

He is not eligible because technically he is her dependent.
His financial aid status is most likely as a dependent student.
