Unless you get a letter in the mail telling you that they're going to stop them, yes, you can use them.
That's just it. They told me on two occasions that my food stamps would be cancelled if I failed to fill out my form and mail it back. I did not do this. They have been loading my card since May and I don't know why since I was according to them cancelled in April. Thank You
I applied for stamps after I was laid off. When I spoked to my case worker he suggested that I immediately apply for unemployment benefits. He also asked me to show proof of my unemployment application, and a overhead letter from my previous job explaining why I was laid off. When I recieved all the documentations he requested, I emailed it to his address. When I sent the email he thanked me for the overhead letter, but stated I didn't needed to send him a unemployment nor income statement unless it exceeded over the maximum amount for a family of four. I applied in March and was approved in Apirl. Now it's the end of June and I recieved a letter concerning my income, it basically stated I needed to report anything that has changed since I've applied. I'm kinda nerves because I tried to report my unemployment benefits when it was approved in Apirl and he didn't accepted it, he stated he didn't need it at the time. I only recieves 247 dollars a week, do you think if I submit my documents in using the date I started recieving unemployment I would get penalize? The reason why I'm asking is because I prefilled out the from online and in red bold letters it reminded me that it has been over a month since my income has changed.
If you got bad advice from a food stamp worker, than that's not fraud, but you might very well have to pay back the overage. Do NOT compound things by lying when you fill out that paperwork. You'll get a chance to explain everything.
It's not uncommon to get food stamps based on an income of zero, and you just assume the case workers know that you'll be getting UI soon and are factoring it in, but they don't. Then they give you misleading information about what to report.
You did nothing wrong YET, but if you start manipulating dates, you'll look like a liar and then they won't believe you when you tell the story about the conversation with your case worker, and be prepared to pay back any overpayments.
I was hoping that didn't do that😞. Here's the email he sent me and also the maximum amount of income in the state of Louisiana. I have a family of four, do you think that I could possible dodge that bullet? It only allows me to post one attachment at a time. So I'll post the second one after.
After they take taxes out of my unemployment I'm left with $222.00 a week. Which is really close to nothing! Since the hurricane the cost of living is extremely high. I consider myself lucky to find a apartment for $750.00 a month. If I wasn't a full time college student my bills and the maintenance of my household would be a devastating experience for me. I mean I'm not proud of my situation, especially because I never been on foodstamps before. You know! I never had a problem with finding a good paying job, so moving out here has been quiet a challenge for me.
If there's anyone on this website who knows of someone or works in the New Orleans metro area, I am a dependable hard working woman who has experience in management, warehouse, and security. Please reply with places you may know of that's hiring. If it's not to much to ask for, thank you😊!
Just because they ask you to pay it back doesn't mean you have to pay it back right that second. In a lot of cases you can keep from paying it back, but yours won't be one of them. They'll just subtract it from your future food stamp benefits.
All being told wrong gets you, is that you don't have to worry about a fraud issue and being cut off. Doesn't mean that you get to keep the money.
I bought a house 2 months ago but I get ebt, if I reported the purchase of the house will this affect my availability to keep on getting ebt benefits? Should I reported to the application ? What should I do?
Ive been looking everwhwre for an answer.. when its time to renew food stamps do i receive a letter in the mail....
You should receive a "recertification" notice and a form. If you have not received it when it is close to the time to recertify, call or go in and pick up the form.
