do the gov't cut your food stamps if you don't have kids under 18?

Question

so if your kids are above the age of 18 now, but you are still low-income, they will cut your food stamps? if there anyway to continue to get it by being low-income?

whoa paying the gov't back the all the foodstamps??? is that true? so you're saying foodstamps is like a kind of gov't loan for food?

Answer 1

If you are between 18-50, have no dependents under 18 in your household, are not working at least 20 hours per week, are not disabled- you can/will be limited to three months of food stamps in a three year period of time (once you use those three months of benefits, in order to qualify before three years go by- you would have to be working 20 hours per week, etc)........

*no, you don't have to pay back food stamps to the gov't if there is no fraud or overpayment due to not reporting a change as required.

Answer 2

U don't have to pay back food stamps.. that's so far from the truth.. The govt cuts ur stamps for EVERYTHING.. If u no longer have kids and aren't disabled, u have to work to keep them.. Amount u get depends on number in household, income, etc.. once the child turns 18..they are old enough to work and they can actually get food stamps in their own name.

Answer 3

When your kids are over 18, they start to reduce your foodstamps. Next year you will have to start paying back the money you took from the government.
