I am disabled and want to qualify for food stamps

Q) I am disabled and want to qualify for food stamps

A) If you are disabled you may qualify for SNAP (food stamp) benefits if you have limited income and resources, you may receive food stamps under SNAP Program. If your income and resources are too great, you will not be eligible for SNAP benefits even if you are receiving SSDI. SNAP does, however, have some special rules for people who are disabled. If you are receiving SSDI, you will be considered disabled for purposes of SNAP, and you may be able to deduct some of your medical expenses from your income. For more about SNAP, the SNAP eligibility criteria, and how to apply for food stamps, see the SNAP website at USDA.

Again: If you are disabled and need assistance, you may be eligible for food stamp benefits also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). To be eligible for SNAP, you must meet certain income and resource limits. Additionally, there are separate rules for households with elderly or disabled members.

To apply for SNAP benefits, you can visit your local Department of Social Services or the state agency that administers the program in your area. You can also apply online in some states. When you apply, you will need to provide information about your income, expenses, and household size, among other things.

Your disability status may impact your eligibility in several ways. For example, if you receive Social Security disability benefits, this may affect your eligibility for SNAP. However, not all types of disability benefits are counted as income for SNAP purposes.
