I'm on food stamps. Is this going to be a problem?

Does the petition ask you if you are on food stamps?  I think not.....

 

Do you have sufficient income for financial support?

Yes. But I lied to get the food stamps and now I'm worried they will find out and refuse me. Do they look into this type of government assistance?

As a USC you are eligible for social programs.  Income or financial capacity is not reviewed at the time of the petition

I would be concerned that if the lying to the government to get food stamp benefits,  USCIS could be unsure if you are lying to them too. 

 

If you make enough money to sponsor someone yourself why are you taking advantage if government assistance??

OP was not eligible as they lied to receive the food stamp, so they could be forced to repay it back.

That is a topic not relative to OPs immigration situation.  I just stayed within what this website is about and it's not our place to judge beyond immigration issues

Not judging anything, just stating facts when you said "As a USC you are eligible for social programs." when the OP is not eligible for this social program.

Or rather, s/he is only if they qualify

Correct, but the OP stated they lied in order to qualify so am basing my answer on that. Sorry, my last comment on this as I'm going off tangent of the original post.

But I never said anything about qualifying so my answer stands.  What the OP has done is a  dilemma that the they need to come to grips with.

How do you plan to support and pass the sponsorship stage if you have no income?
