The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) assists low income individuals with affording food. Historically, the assistance was paid in the form of stamps or vouchers. Because of this, the program is sometimes known as food stamps. In more modern times, the stamps were replaced with a debit system known as EBT.

Can a 17-year-old be emancipated and receive a lump sum of money for support from their parents?

If the minor resides in a state where emancipation is allowed, he or she may file a petition for emancipation rights, the judge will decide if emancipation should be granted. The major requirement for emancipation is that the minor be gainfully employed with enough income to provide for all their needs. Once a minor has been emancipated they are are financially responsible for their own welfare and their parents have no obligation to support them in any way. That means the parents would not be responsible for paying any of the minor child's bills regardless of what they might be. The minor will also be required to pay all legal costs and court fees that relate to the emancipation action, regardless of whether or not an emancipation decree is granted.

Why do they need your fingerprints for food stamps?

Food stamps are designed to be used only by the person that they are given to. To sell them to another person is illegal and is an abuse to the system. There is a great amount of people that are given food stamps and then they sell them to someone else for a profit. This hurts those that really need them.

You would not automatically qualify for help with paying your electric bill.

If your on food stamps then you shouldn't have a Costco membership. The Costco by my house on Thomas takes them I just called.

Just because someone receives food stamps doesn't mean they are sub human and deserve to only shop at run down nasty markets. Sometimes bad things happen and you have to humble yourself to even ask for them. Yea some people buy a lot of junk food but trust me they suffer at the end of the month because of it. I clip coupons and look for sales. I buy the reduced meat and freeze it. If milk is on sale I buy several and freeze those too.

Be kind to your fellow man everyone has problems they are dealing with.

How can afford an apartment with no income I have 2 kids and only get food stamps and medicaid?

Without giving the obvious answer ("get a job") because I know how hard it is to try and balance working and raising kids and how difficult or untimely working outside the home can be, especially when certain circumstances prevent it, my best suggestion would be to get on the Section 8 waiting list in your area. But even Section 8 requires the household to have some income, whether that be child support, SSI, TANF, or other proof of some kind of income. But the waiting lists can be very long (some wait 3 years), though they will bump you up on the waiting list if you are staying in a shelter. Good luck to you. I've been there and I know it's difficult!

I also wanted to add that you might look for a live-in housekeeper position or something that allows you and your children to live in while you work for the family. They're rare, but they're out there.

I want to add to the answer above. I am not the same person, however. Apply for everything that you can apply for. When you are in offices, turning in paperwork, ask their opinion of what else you can apply for. The worst they can do is turn you down.

Find out if your local TANF office, or another service will supply child care for a time. If they will, apply for every job you see. Register with the Temp agency's (ie. Manpower) and contact them regularly to see if they have a job for you. If you have to, call them every single day. I grew up in the business and if you keep your name in front of us, you are more likely to be thought of when a job comes in.

Check with your local Senior Services (even if you are not a senior). Often they will have a directory that you can have that lists a number of places that you can appeal to for help. Look up your local food banks, look up for local supper tables. Use them. That's what they are their for. Get familiar with the personnel. This is called networking. If they know who you are, and what you need, you are more likely to get it because they know you.

Good luck to you. I've been there, too.

For example, if your case number ends in 0, your benefits would be available on the 1st of the month; if it ends in 9, they would be available on the 20th.
