Can I Get Social Security And Food Stamps?

Can I get my food stamp eligibility raised so I can collect both food stamps and Social Security
I'm being told for my social worker that I cannot collect food stamps anymore because it's above the eligibility amount



Hi,

I know that food stamp eligibility is based on need, but I don't know enough about their rules or your financial situation to answer your question. You might want to try searching the USDA website: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap.

Best, Jerry
