    My son is married and has 2 children on food stamps he gets $163 a month but his checks he makes $288.00 a week and pays $600.00 a month in rent. It seems like the amount of FS is wrong. I don't know how to figure the graft can someone help me. that's like there giving him 46 a week for groceries by time he take 150 out for rent buys gas and diaper they really don't have no money. For the past 4 weeks he's only worked 32hrs. please some one explain how this works.

    When was the last time this chart has been adjusted to account for the cost of living? Food has gone up so much in the last few yrs its rediculous

    It seems that the government rarely adjusts any social service program according to the cost of living....

    If you own your home but lose your job you don't qualify in Alabama. I wish they would try to pay all utilities and a car payment plus raise 3 kids.

    My daughter is single and has a ten year old boy. She makes approx. $900 per month. She is disabled and her income is disabiity, and child support. She also pays arrearages in child support for two children 19 and 20. She gets $134 in foodstamps which is definitely not enough. She has appealed their last decision, but I know a man who gets $134 in food stampa just for himself, and my daughter has a son to feed also, and gets the same amount.

How to Get Expedited Food Stamps

-
Expedited food stamps (SNAP benefits) is the name of a process where low income families are given food stamps within 7 days from the date of their application. Eligibility rules include the following: Your household’s income is less than $150 per month and your household’s assets are less than $100 (assets include cash that you have on hand and the money in your bank account). Your rent and utilities are more than your monthly income before deductions OR You are a migrant seasonal farm worker and your household’s cash and money in the bank is less than $100. If none of these situations apply, you may receive Food Stamps within 30 days of the date you apply for government aid. Unfortunately, during these tough economic times, many low income families and individuals will have no problem proving that their rent, utilities, and other expenses are more than the money they make.

Yes.  All types of households receive SNAP benefits if they are eligible.  2.        Can I get food stamps even though I have a job?
