β 11y agoThe food stamp eligibility criteria is a household which makes under a certain amount of money for the amount of people living in the home per month or year. For instance if a household of 5, gross less than $2,927 per month, with some deductions allowed, the family may be eligible for food stamps. Also, a person who does not have children in the home and is applying for food stamps, does not have a job, may only receive food stamps for a period of 3 months in a consecutive year, unless the person is elderly or with disabilities.

β 11y agoWhile the requirements vary from state to state, typically food stamp eligibility is based on income and the amount of children in the household. In California, typically a family has to be near the poverty level to quality and there are programs for homeless individuals to receive benefits as well.
