The Food Stamp Program provides food stamps that help low income households buy the food they need for good health. The amount of food stamps each household receives is based on the Thrifty Food Plan...the model diet plan the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) uses to project the cost of food for one month for different household sizes. Under food stamp rules, resources--such as bank accounts, cash real estate, personal property, vehicles, and so forth--are considered in determining whether a household is eligible to get food stamps. Some resources are counted toward the allowable limit and some are not. The food stamp worker will explain which are counted. The resources of people who get public assistance, SSI, and, in some locations, general assistance is not counted toward the limit. All households may have up to $2,000 worth of countable resources and still be eligible. Households may have up to $3,000 and still be eligible if at least one member is age 60 or older. Most households must have income at or below certain dollar limits before and after deductions are allowed. However, households in which all members are getting public assistance or SSI (or, in some locations, general assistance) do not have to meet the income eligibility tests.
