How will food stamps effect my credit history?

Question

This may be a silly question, but getting food stamps will effect my credit negatively? Please explain?

Answer 1

Food stamps have no effect on your score. Only debts do.

Answer 2

No effect.

Answer 3

Allow the food stamps to assist you with freeing money up to pay your bills during a very hard time or until you have a elevated beyond the need for food stamps. ( They are not reported to the credit bureau)

Answer 4

Your credit history is a record of your credit -- whether you pay your debts on time. If you owe money and don't pay it, you will have a negative rating on your credit score.

Food stamps are not a debt that you owe. They won't affect your credit.
