You would need to contact your local department of health and welfare.  Some states will only consider your income, others consider income for the entire household.  Also, in some states, if you receive child support, they can require you to forfeit that to them for the food stamps (that's how it is in my state).  It all depends on how many people are in the household and the state's guidelines for poverty levels.

By using both an income standard of up to 185 percent of the federal poverty level and nutrition risk criteria in determining eligibility for participation in the WIC program, the WIC program attempts to target scarce program resources to those individuals with limited economic resources who are at the highest risk of poor outcomes. Before reviewing (in subsequent chapters) the scientific evidence relating to the nutrition risk criteria used to establish eligibility for participation in the WIC program, this chapter presents evidence of low-income, or poverty, as a predisposing nutrition risk factor for women, infants, and children.\n\nDefinition of Poverty\nConsiderable controversy exists over how to define and measure poverty. A recent expert panel defined poverty as ''economic deprivation," reflecting inadequate economic resources for the consumption of basic goods and services (NRC, 1995). Poverty standards are generally called absolute measures and are based on the assumption that there is some objective minimum level of either income or consumption such that if economic resources are less than this minimum standard, individuals and families do not have adequate resources to satisfy their basic needs (Ruggles, 1990). Families and individuals are classified as being in poverty if their incomes are less than official poverty thresholds. The poverty measure was initially constructed by determining the cost of a nutritionally adequate low-cost food plan (then the Economy Food Plan, now the

You don't ding dong you have to show up at the Medicaid Office, and wait in line to make an appointment. You will then be issued a counselor that will evaluate your case. It is a process to see if you qualify. Otherwise if your starving go to the Salvation Army, or St.Vincents DePauw. These are Catholics that provide help. Conservatives wont help you, they don't even have any programs. The Red Cross is also Catholic. They were the only ones that showed up at Hurricane Katrina. Go figure HUH!!!!

We need programs for the poor.  But we need to ask ourselves if the Food Stamp program is the best way to do that?\n\nHow much of our tax dollars go into the food stamp program?  \n$27.5 billion from Federal Tax \n$6 billion in admin. costs paid by the states\n$33.5 billion Total spent\n\nHow much actually makes it to people as food stamps?\n$21.5 billion in payouts.  \n\nThat means only 67 cents of every government dollar goes to help the people.\n\nThe LOWEST graded food bank type charity managed to get 87 cents of every dollar to the people.  \n\nAnd the food stamp program doesn't have to do any fundraising like charities do! \n\nSomeone gets laid off, it takes months to start getting food stamps.  Food banks would be able to address the need quickly.\n\nMany people sell their food stamps for cash, 50cents on the dollar.  It would be harder to do that with a can of green beans.\n\nMany people use food stamps to buy junk food.  Food banks would be able to limit that.\n\nJust because something needs to be done, doesn't mean the government should be the one to do it.  They usually manage to mess it all up.

http://www.liheap.ncat.org\n\nThey provide help with paying high utility bills for low income families. Just type in your state in the search bar on the left.\n\nThe local Dept. of Human Services. Maybe they can help with getting food stamps or some other assistance. \nAlso, there's some charities that might help, Catholic Charities, United Way, and The Red Cross. In my town, the local Baptist Association helps people out with money or clothes. If I think of more I'll add them later.

its a card that the state gives you. you can only use it on food and nothing else - and u get a certain amount every month. wal mart takes the food stamp card. and whatever u dont spend that month will roll over to the next month. it helps if u have kids. and the more kids you have then the more money the government puts on ur food stamp card - its basically for low income families only.

TANF is cash money for your family but it is temporary there is a certain number of years in your LIFE TIME that you can receive it.  If you use it all up and you a poor later on in life sry
