Unfortunately, food stamps can be a convenient currency among drug users and drug pushers.
It depends upon what the felony is for. Most felons can get food stamps. The exception is drug felons - some drug felons can, and some can't get food stamps. In most cases, if the felony was for simple possession, you are still eligible for food stamps. If it was for sales or transportation, you are disqualified.
No it doesn't. I actually know a guy who has a felony and receives food stamps.
No. A felony drug conviction is the only felony that bars you from assistance. They are currently working on trying to pass a law where drug felons can take a program to get them. As of now, its NO.
Food Stamps! is the only one I know of but you can't be convicted of drug offenses. Try visiting your county welfare office first.
Food stamps are a federal program and federal law does not prohibit a previously convicted person from receiving food stamps.
NO...not in GA anyway. You are automatically denied for being a "law breaker", however your income does count. Even if you have sucessfully completed jail, rehab and probation you are not eligible.

In Arizona, individuals with felony drug convictions are generally ineligible to receive food stamps under federal law. However, states have the option to modify this rule, and Arizona has chosen to do so. If a convicted drug felon complies with the state's requirements, completes treatment or counseling, and passes drug tests, they may be eligible to receive food stamps in Arizona.
Yes with successful completion of drug treatment
