Migrant/seasonal workers and qualified aliens may be eligible for food stamp benefits and should call for more information on eligibility requirements.
ELIGIBILITY: Persons or families are eligible if they meet income requirements listed below. If all in the household are under age 60, assets (cash, vehicles, securities, personal property or bank accounts) may not exceed $2251. Households with at least one member aged 60 or older are allowed assets up to $3001. One car is allowed per household, regardless of the car's value. Asset information is only necessary if a client's monthly income is questionable.
