What does anyone know about food stamps???
I have a college professor that told me that he was on food stamps all through college and I shouldn't be ashamed to aply for food stamps. I got to thinking that I haven't been eating good and the only time I have a glass of milk is at work because it's free. It would really help to just get $20 a month to buy milk. (I hate the idea of buying milk because it's so expensive). What I'm worried about is that my SO makes a decent amount of money but we don't share our money/expenses. He pays for his share and his food and I pay for mine. Of course now and then we share food, but for the most part we don't share food like a regular couple would. (It's not that he doesn't want to either, it's that I feel like a looser mooching off him.)
Does anyone know if I will still be eligible for food stamps if my SO makes a decent amount of money (probably 1,300 a month)? It's just not fair to put him down on my application because he doesn't pay for me!
EDIT when I say SO I don't mean husband. He's my boyfriend and the only thing we have our names together on legally is our lease. (We've been together a little over two years now)
