From the Pennsylvania department of food and nutrition website, here is the hotline number -
Pennsylvania State Information/Hotline Number: 1-800-692-7462 TDD 1-800-451-5886
If you don't want to call, they also have a Food Stamps
Pre-Screening Eligibility Tool that you can use to see if you are still eligible.
Finally, the Eligibility Requirements page is at http://www.fns.usda.gov/fsp/applicant_recipients/fs_Res_Ben_Elig.htm
you will find a chart describing the amount of monthly income you can have and still be eligible.
good luck

You will get the most accurate answer by contacting the social service agency that first approved the food stamps. Make an appointment to discuss your eligibility now since your circumstances have changed.

If the amount does not exceed the amount that qualified you for food stamps. Your best bet is check with the welfare office, if you are making more than what qualified you , they will want all their money back, every cent, even if it means garnishing your government check.

You need to contact a lender who does VA loans and ask them. You may be able to find a loan or mortgage broker who could assist you in putting a package together.
