Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps): Eligibility Requirements

Work Requirements For Purposes Of Nutritional Assistance

Next » « Previous

4/6

If you are able to work, eligibility requirements differ if you are working and if you are not working.

If you are able to work but are not working:

  • If you are between age 16 and 60, you must be looking for work, accept a job offer if given, or be going to vocational training of some sort.
  • If you are in good health and between 18 and 50, and do not have any dependent children, you may be limited to the number of months you can get Food Stamps. There is an exception if your state has a waiver for your area because of high unemployment or a shortage of jobs. Other members of the household may continue to get food stamps even if a person who is able to work is disqualified. This requirement is waived in some locations.

If you are working:

  • You can work and still get Food Assistance depending on the state you live in and the amount of your wages.
  • You are probably not eligible for Food Assistance if you recently quit a job for no reason or if you are on strike when you apply (unless you could have qualified before you went on strike).
