I am a 20 year old married college student. I have recently lost my job. As a result I applied for food stamps and medical assistants from the state of Florida. I was informed that because I am not pregnant I can't get medical assistants. I told them that I have a condition and as a result I need to see a doctor regularly and get medication, there response "Some times people who need it don't qualify, and people who qualify don't need it" They also informed me that because I am a college student I can't receive food stamps, they called it "double dipping" because I already get assistant for school so they won't give me any more... We have received unemployment, but can't afford to pay the bills and buy food. I asked about cash assistants and they said because I'm a college student I don't qualify. Is there anything else I can do? Any other program I can apply for?
