Can I claim food Stamps

[Samanthajayne 0]

Hi VJers

I have a quick question, I have searched the forum and recieved random ansews,lol.

Ok, I am the Pernament Resident, and ive been here since may 2008.

Since that time, me and my hubby have been through some hard times ( although we both work)

I had my son, and claimed chip prinatal care, and he now claims chip for his healthcare.

I also claim wic, for his milk, and I was wondering if i could claim food stamps? Is this going to effect my status? I have a sponsor, but I cant ask her, I feel bad.

Just wondered?

Thanks

A lot depends on the program and how it is administered. It is an FDA program, but each state handles it differently. Your sponsor did sign an agreement to ensure that you would not become a public charge. I don't know whether or not they will look to the sponsor to make good that promise. Good luck!

You are eligible to apply for food stamps. But when they ask about income/resources available, you have to include your sponsors information as well. If between you, hubby, and co-sponsor you still meet the guidelines then there is no problem. Just to be clear, receiving food stamps does not mean you have become a public charge.

If you absolutely can not ask your sponsor then you should try a food bank. You just need an ID or bill to show where you live and provide the number of people who live with you and for whom you prepare food.
