How long do felons have to wait before receiving food stamps?

probably alot longer than it would take to simply go get a job and earn their own food like the rest of us do. I have had about all I can take of working overtime to feed criminals, illegals, and lazy bums. I hope it is a LONG LONG LONG LONG wait......

It ought to be mandatory to get food assistance in 3rd world countries where they are producing babies as fast as they starve to death, but it's not a bad idea here, especially if they are 3rd generation welfare recipients. I'm one of the working pooor who gets annoyed at people on food stamps driving better vehicles than I have, have their rent paid for, who whine about not getting more money and spitting out babies to get more benefits. Gee, I guess I'm developing an attitude :P

yes. if they get the check even one day late then you are late. and you are not late by one day, but are considered late by 30 days. you should always mail the payment at least 5 days before the due date.

When my brother and sister did theirs it took them a couple of months because they had everything already the only thing needed was the green card in their hands. However things have change and I would say it depends on which state they will live in because the more populated immigrant states take longer. As soon as they arrive have your brother fill out his selective service card (very important). They will be given the paperwork to get their social security cards and the steps to getting their green cards. I would say 6 months maximum for everything.

I get foodstamps b/c I have a lot of people to support and some of which are not able to work, some are too young. I hate people that cheat the system. It makes the gov't make all these new rules that make it harder on us who need them. I work hard,but I still need some help.

Do you mean that you applied with the social department? right. If you did, sometimes it takes more that 1 to 3 months and you get notify by letter. This is in California

a few months.  much better and faster than here in the us.  then you will need to fill out some paperwork after you are approved to show that you will not get on public assistance.  some sort of a financial affidavit.

Every welfare and food stamp office has a fraud unit.  Just call your local office and they will direct you to their fraud unit.  Also, it takes time for them to verify the suspected fraud, be patient.  Also, they will contact you for further details if needed.  I had to report someone too.  It took almost a year but they got caught!

Nope... sometimes they'll let you pay in can goods. You should ask your probation officer.

You would have to be delinquent for some time before you went to jail! Just pay when you can.

this tests you for evrything you have done. pot stays in your body for about 30 days, coke for about 72-80 hours and ackohol for about 12 hours, sorry for the spelling.  other drugs i am not sure.if you are on probation you  have probably spent time in jail already.  which is more important , your drugs or your freedom.  do you want to order pizza or have a jail meal.  do you want to visit your family in person or send them jail mark cards.  its your decision , be strong.

You sould be able to call them and state that you still have not recived your pay. But they have about 3o day when the court has told them to pay you. so you would have to wait about a month.

try looking up FASFA on line to see what you qualify for. try calling a local community college and ask to speak to someone in financial aid. also, if your crime(s) against you were reported, and your batterer jailed, you may be eligible for money from the victims of crimes program....call your court house for that. good luck!

Welfare recipients that get off welfare and get employed do repay what they used - they pay taxes.\n\nWelfare benefits generally are a pittance - in Indiana, TANF (Temporary Aid to Needy Families) generally is not enough to pay bills - many people have to find other help in addition to TANF to pay any outstanding bills while they try and get employed.\n\nSince the 90's, when welfare reform was passed, all states require that TANF recipients attempt to find work or complete eduction that will help them find work. They may only receive TANF for a limited amount of time.\n\nGenerally, people that abuse the system will go for other programs - typically Food Stamps and SSI (Supplimental Security Income - often referred to as disability). Even still, most people who are on Food Stamps or SSI desperately need it - many SSI recipients truly cannot work, and many Food Stamp recipients work at such low paying jobs that they cannot make ends meet.

after you've waited your time 5 or 3 years depending on if you are married or not to a resident or citizen- the wait depends on how fast your processing center moves. My friend is in the process and my husband is getting ready to apply, but she's been waiting since October and has her interview next month - filed with Nebraska.

maybe - it depends on your state's laws. in NJ, if you are separated for misconduct, you will be penalized for 6 weeks, then start to collect benefits. other states are more strict. filing a claim is free, so on your last day, apply right away. if you are denied benefits, there is an appeal process.

Contact th Social Security to check into SSI and the county or state welfare agencies for emergency aid.  They also can help with food stamps, medical care and possibly housing.   If the person is a vet, contact the Veterans Administration to see if they may qualify for any benifits.  State and Federal legislators can often help you sort through benifit programs also.  Good Luck!
