Well we know the dumb cluck duck never missed a meal in his life. It would be nice if he knew what hunger is. Maybe in the next life or maybe when he is convicted and spends the rest of his life in solitary confinement on BREAD AND WATER. That might work. Thank you for your reply Nanoose! :)

Food stamps are based on income. If the people are not qualifying someone in their home is making money somehow....if maybe the unemployment payments are higher than the income limits which are based on the size of the family. If a family of 4 in my state, with 2 unemployed adults they would likely be over the limit to qualify for food stamps. (assuming making $200 week + $400 stimulas= $600 week x 2= $1200 per week= $4800 per month) They would not qualify.
SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This was formerly known as the Food Stamps Program.
Are you eligible for food stamps---this is a "quick estimate" calculator I found online, but the application for SNAP is similar.
Quick Estimate
Answer the questions below for a rough estimate of food stamp benefits.
Household Information Household Size Is anyone in the household 60 or older? yes no Is anyone in the household under 19? yes no Is anyone considered disabled under Food Stamp rules? yes no Do all household members receive EAEDC or SSI? yes no Are you a pregnant woman living alone? yes no Are all household members US Citizens?* yes no Is the household homeless? yes no If you answered no to this question, you can learn whether you are eligible for food stamps by doing the calculator rather than the quick estimate. Financial Information
Gross Monthly Earned Income $ Other Monthly Income $ Number of dependent children under 2 years old Monthly cost of child/day care for dependents under the age of 2 $ Number of Dependents over the age of 2 Monthly cost for child care/adult daycare for dependents over the age of 2 $ Court ordered child support payment amount (Monthly) $ Monthly medical expenses for elderly or disabled household members $ Monthly Rent/Mortgage $ Do you pay heating or cooling separate from your rent? yes no Do you pay for other utilities? yes no Do you pay for telephone? (not cable) yes no Assets (only answer if there are no children under 19 in the household) $

It is based on income. Yes, they allow so much for basic expenses. But it all boils down to your monthly income and income from unemployment counts as income.
Assets also count...cannot have a boat load of cash or non nessessary assets (paid off $100,000 RV, car etc)
