Green Card and Food Stamp

[Magnolia31 0]

I was reading about this the other day I am pretty sure Green Card holders are not eligible for Food Stamp. If by any chance you get approved, the government can then charge your US spouse for the expenses made on your name. Food Stamps are NOT subject to public charge consideration, meaning they won't deport you if you have Food Stamps, but they can charge your sponsor for it, so I wouldn't try getting on Food Stamps.

Yes, read my other post! I was not eligible back in 2002 when my "American" husband abandoned me and my newborn baby. In order to qualify, they told me (I believe it was) I had to have at least 10 working quarters. I did not have that. They tried combining my mom's working quarters with mine, but it was still *barely* not enough. My daughter qualified though since she's American. She received $132 a month and we were eligible for WIC. I qualified for WIC because when you are a breastfeeding mom, you automatically qualified at that time. And YES, the $132 I got per month for my daughter had to be paid back by my ex husband. When I applied for it they automatically asked for his SSN to try to find him. I did not know his whereabouts so I was clueless. It was a VERY sad situation. I ended up being evicted out of my apartment and everything. I returned to Germany for 4 years and now have to do this immigration process all over again. I know I am going on and on but it's so upsetting to me.
