Public assistance such as EBT cards are granted based upon the applicant's income, the number of persons in the family and so forth. There are millions of people known as the "working poor" who, although gainfully employed do not earn enough to pay for essentials such as food after other debts have been paid.
Child support has no connection with whether or not a custodial parent receives public assistance such as "food stamps". Child support is exactly what the term implies, support of a minor child/children not the adults in the household.
... affect ... Child support is considered income for purposes of determining eligibility for food stamps [SNAP] and Medicaid. However, receipt of either should have no effect on the amount of one's child support, whether one is the obligor or obligee.
no
She is legally responsible for the support of the child no matter where she is in this world. I suggest you return to court and ask for support. If you're on food stamps, you signed a waiver on child support. They will file against her. see link below
You will need to make an appointment and get the child support sorted out. You should take in the paperwork you have regarding custody. It is probably only an error.
If there was an order in place, it's enforceable - there's no statute of limitations on collecting past-due child support. However, the State will intervene in order to be reimbursed for assistance issued (but not food stamps). If no order was ever entered, it's too late now unless the child is severely handicapped.
The child support is to "support the child"...figure it out.
... eligible to receive food stamps [SNAP] ... yes
Yes, you will always be required to pay child support when you are not being supported by income-based support, such as food stamps or housing assistance.
I would assume. There are other factors in consideration of this. Has he filed to reduce his payments? see links below
No. Child support is what parents pay for their child. Whether you are married or not or have custody or not you still have to provide for your child. No special requirements needed, just being the parent. Examples of entitlement programs are Medicare, food stamps.
I live in Indiana, and I know they keep child support to pay back TANF (welfare) In some instances Medicaid as well. Every state might be different. In my state regardless of how much child support a person gets they only receive the first $50 if they get a welfare check and the rest goes to the state. They wont take it for food stamps.
The parent can continue to receive food stamps. If the child is still living in the parent's home, the two of them can continue to receive food stamps together as one household.
