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 |

Most people I know with food stamps have jobs, but they are part-time jobs and aren't enough to make ends meet without additional help. Those are no full-time jobs available. |

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 know 2 people right now without jobs that collect food stamps. there is no job required. are they 20 years old???, I am assuming they would give support to a mother or somebody older because they can understand why they would need the support But if you're young and can move around, they want you to get a job and earn the food stamps, which sounds odd because if I the person has a job they don't need the support like a person who doesn't have a job. |

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?. The son is probably registered as a dependent for the parents food stamps...In which case that individual would not qualify for food stamps because they are already technically recieving them. The only way to get out of that dependency rating is for the son to obtain employment enough to prove that they are not in fact dependent and are trying to support themselves (the 20 hr/wk job). If the parent were to cancel their food stamps, and then reapply without listing the son as a dependent, then the son would be able to get food stamps just fine. The parent would get less per month too. In my state it's $200/month single-no deps, 300 married - no deps, 300 single - 1 dep (100/mo each additional dep). So, the mother could theoretically be recieving 400/mo in food stamps. In short....the parent here kinda made things harder for their kid by registering their kid as a dependent. While the individual does get more food stamps on their individual card, still the sum total of stamps recieved is less than if two people were on individual stamps. It makes one card look big while actually gibing the family less per month than they could otherwise get. |
