Food Stamps

The Food Stamps Program helps people with little or no money buy food for healthy meals at participating stores. Any household meeting basic income requirements may be eligible to receive food stamps. Adult children who are of the age of 21 or older can qualify for their own food stamp case if they prepare and fix meals separately from the others.
The following people must be included in one household account, regardless of whether they purchase and prepare meals separately:

A spouses of any household member.
Parents living with their natural, adopted or stepchildren who are age 21 or younger.
Children younger than 18 who are dependents of an adult household member.

Only US citizens and legal foreign residents may be eligible to receive food stamps. You have to be within a certain income range depending on the size of the household. This is a good program for families who are struggling and need a little assistance.
