Answer 3

Administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Food Stamp (FS) Program issues monthly benefits redeemable at authorized retail food stores. Eligibility and benefit levels are based on household size, income, assets and other factors.

To help with the transition to self-sufficiency, food stamps can be continued for families leaving temporary assistance to move into the workplace. The food stamp income eligibility limits enable families earning up to 130 percent of the poverty level to qualify for the program, and there is no time limit for receipt of benefits for families with children.

In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of New York and fall into one of two groups: (1) those with a current bank balance (savings and checking combined) under $2,001, or (2) those with a current bank balance (savings and checking combined) under $3,001 who share their household with a person or persons age 60 and over, or with a person with a disability (a child, your spouse, a parent, or yourself). For either group, you must also have an annual household income of less than $13,284 if one person lives in the household; $17,808 if two people live in the household; $22,332 if three people live in the household; $26,856 if four people live in the household; $31,380 if five people live in the household; $35,904 if six people live in the household; $40,428 if seven people live in the household; or $44,952 if more than seven people live in the household.
