How much food stamps do you get per month? - Nicey - 11-09-2012 06:11 PM
... And what is your family size?? And does the family include a father?
Can you try a local pantry or church if you need assistance / food?

You get more money if there is no father

I used to get 200/mo but they stopped supporting me without any reason. I don't know what to do, but I hope this info helps you.
for family size I am the only one.

My aunt has 5 children and she got around 700 a month.
The total amount was 7 family size including father.
It can depend where you live too.
Yes. Of course. Where are you from?
Try the Food Bank.
If someone in your family isn't working and is an adult you can apply for general relief. It's available in some counties.
You can apply for Food stamps at the social services office. It's a federal program.
If your family is low income. You will get them.
If you don't qualify tell them(your worker) where are some places where you can get assistance with food. They should help you.
my mom goes to some churches on Saturdays and they give her free food. Church food is not always the best. With food stamps you can buy fresh food instead of process food/can food.

People with children can get WIC, free school lunches, free summer lunchbox lunches, food pantries. and of course the food stamps.
Sometimes they just sell the food stamps (EBT card), since the kids are getting fed anyway.
USDA further claimed they have sent letters to the CEOs of Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook and Twitter seeking their aid in preventing the illegal sale or purchase of food stamps. The agency also pointed out that they have proposed a rule to allow states to require individuals needing numerous EBT replacements to check in with the state. USDA adds that they have increased documentation for “high-risk†retailers to redeem SNAP benefits.
