Stamper: Actually, Food Stamp Admin. does look at some of your assets. They look at your bank accounts, income, savings, 401k. They do not look at you home or cars.
When I was unemployed, I tried getting Food Stamps because on the Income Level I was eligible. However, since I had a 401K I was denied. I was told I must take out that money before I can receive Food Stamps.
But the plan was, if we did receive Food Stamps, we’d go someone where no-one recognizes us to purchase food because of the busha.
