Can a person in Texas receive SNAP benefits when applying for SSI, or can they not get SNAP until they are actually approved for SSI?

Hi,

I don't really know much about the SNAP program, but I don't think SSI (Supplemental Security Income) eligibility is required. For more information, refer to the USDA website: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligibility.

Dear Larry...70 yr male in NYC. Recently come upon hard times
I get $750 in SS . Can I apply for welfare or any other benifits
I am 4 months behind in rent @$2200 per month. Im looking into Senior housing hard to find a place

Thanks so much/Abe

Hi Abe,

I'm sorry, but my only area of expertise is Social Security. If you are married now, or if you were widowed or married for more than 10 years and divorced, then you may qualify for additional Social Security benefits based on a spouse's work record.

I have a friend who lives in NH. She is over 75 and receives $753. monthly from social security. Is she eligible for food stamp? This is her total income.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the food stamp rules. Here is a link to contact information for the NH DHHS: http://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dfa/foodstamps/contact.htm.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but Social Security is my only area of expertise. You'll need to check with someone at the agency that administers the food stamp program in your area, or someone knowledgeable about that program.
