Can I get food stamps? I live with my boyfriend.

Question

I was going to apply for food stamps but I want to know if I need to include my boyfriend on the application. His name is on the lease, not mine. All the bills are in my name. Should I apply and not include him? If I do what about the lease? or should we both apply?

Answer 1

You could always ask the Welfare office when you apply. I would think that since you are not married nor related that your income alone would be concidered for the food stamps, and dont quote me but, I am thinking the amount of bills you have doesnt matter just your income amount.  

Answer 2

you can apply && he can apply seperately..because both

of you guys need iit && both of the names are in the least

but..don't say you guys are together..just say yall got the apt together

but hes helping you with rent && he prepares his own food

im living with my boyfriend i did that && it came out good..gudd luck =]

Answer 3

Answer 4

Why do you need food stamps?Do you have kids.If not go get a job.

Answer 5

Nah let him get his seperatly. good luck .

Answer 6

You can apply separate as long as you purchase and prepare meals separate and keep your food separate from him. Once you have children together you would have to add him. Make sure you tell them he is in the home or they will become suspicious later. You may not be eligible though as you are working full time, is you income less than $1107 gross.
