Comment How would someone qualify for food stamps

A) To qualify for food stamps in Oklahoma, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
• You must have a low income. The exact income limits vary by household size and state. For example, a household of one person in Oklahoma cannot have more than $1,767 per month in gross income to qualify for food stamps.
• You must have limited resources. You can’t have more than $2,001 in countable resources (such as cash or money in a bank account) or $3,001 in countable resources if at least one member of your household is age 60 or older, or is disabled.
• You must work or participate in a work training program. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as if you are a child, elderly, or disabled.

If you are approved for food stamps in Oklahoma, you will receive a monthly benefit card that you can use to purchase food at participating grocery stores. The amount of your benefit will depend on your household size and income.
