Because people need money to survive...people cannot survive on food stamps alone!
People who need assistance with being able to afford food. People with little or no income. Contrary to popular belief, all "types" of people are on food stamps. In fact, a majority of welfare recipients in America are white. And, most welfare recipients are only on welfare until they get their feet on the ground again. Food stamps are there to assist the poor, not stigmatize them.
Food stamps are technically considered public assistance. This is something that is offered to certain individuals to help assist them in living.
Unfortunately, yes they can. They can also get public housing and welfare, and drug addiction is now considered a disability so addicts can get SSI.
None
No, they cannot.
yes they do.
what kind of welfare. You can get food stamps IF you qualify but that's about it. If you are not on disability or have kids, you can't get govt housing or a check of any kind so food stamps is about it and then you have to qualify based on income and assets
hoover
Because it is embarrassing. People Like to be self sufficient not asking for handouts. Well most people some take all they can get.
No! Both social security, medicare, and food stamps; are all forms of social welfare.
Food stamps were not available in 1950. The previous food stamp program ended in 1943 and the following food stamp program did not begin until 1961.
