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

My son is disabled since birth and I cant get them, he cant eather ,my gross is to much even though he only get SSI check for $665 a month, I guess I dont know the ropes like so many others.

they should really just give the kid an extra dollar per month..make the numberolgy kick in

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.

Does he have a white sounding name?


100 percent American Citizen



I asked this because I actually know co-workers who both applied for food stamps, both have 2 kids and same job/salary.

The white was turned down and the mexican got the stamps.

I also know a woman who was white and couldn't get them, her friend applied, she got them. Her friend was white, but her last name was "Gonzales".

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.

So why won't his mom pay for his food since he still lives at home?

They give food stamps to homeless people all day long; at least they do in Maine

I have just the opposite problem. I had a part time job (monday through Friday, 8am to Noon)from oct 2007 until oct 2010. My job went full time oct 1st and I'm pissed. I miss having my free time in the afternoon. I would like to have another part time job with the same hours but can't find one. =(. They are all full time.

It's because not only does he have no living expenses since he lives with his mother but he also is going to school. That is why. Unless he has children of his own, the fact he goes to school makes him ineligible for food stamps. Otherwise everyone living at home with mommy/daddy while going to college would collect their food stamps/welfare whatever else they can just because they are not working and instead living at home and attending school.

Can't wait till all these goverment entitlements are gone. 90% of the people on them are are parasites sucking the life out of taxpayers who actually get their ass out of bed and go to work. I'm sure there are some honest folks who will be devestated by this but they have only the lazy asses to blame for overloading the sysytem. We're broke people this shit can't last much longer the free lunch train has jumped the track.

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


No, that is not true.


In my state, students have to work 20 hours a week or more OR have a work-study job. If they have a work-study job they qualify for the full amount of food stamps even if they don't work 20 hours a week.

the same rules apply in ALL 50 states since Food Stamps is a Federal program!

OP. this is only true under certain circumstances, which applies only to certain people. it really depends on what info you give DHS as to what rules they impose upon you by which you are eligible to receive food stamps. The less info you give them, they less they have to hold over your head.

I for example, get 200$ in food stamps a mo, male, have 0 living expenses, do not have a job, etc.

move someplace else in the world then and see how "free " food is there

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.

If she reported him living with her, maybe he is figured in with the benefits she receives from food stamps.
