daycare and foodstamp assistance

Hello ladies, not sure if this is a good place to post this but it sounded the closest Smile So im on houseing and i also get daycare assistance and foodstamps. i work full time now so i only recieve 59$ a month for foodstamps, no big deal. As for daycare i have to pay 50$ a week and shes there for like 46 hours and they pay for her to be there for 43. thats 200$ a month i have to pay it sucks, but anyways the question is, my boyfriend is going to be moving in with me soon and im getting him on the lease so im for sure probably not going to get houseing anymore, but do you think i will still get daycare assistance and food stamps scince were not married ? idk otherwise i will be screwed. i need that daycare assistance i have so many bills, please help thanks.

You should talk to your case

You should talk to your case worker. Usually your food stamps will go up if another person moves in, provided it does not put you out of the bracket for your household size. It also all varies state to state so talking to your case worker is really the only way to know for sure.

Ya usually they add whatever

Ya usually they add whatever that person is paying as a form of income, or at least they do in az. it might be differant. they very well may lower it. what i would do is say that he is buying his own food as rent. thats what we did one time (it was true) and it didn't change it. But when we had a room mate paying like 200/month we got our stuff lowered. Every state is differant tho, so I'd ask. As I said this is in arizona.

My mom lived with me for a

My mom lived with me for a while and that totally messed up my foodstamps and medicaid eligibility. Its so frustrating!!! She was related to me though so I'm not sure how much of a factor that played. I do think you have to tell them, maybe you could see what happens and then reevaluate your decision? Maybe you could discuss that with the case worker. I'm not sure how set yall are on living together. That sounds exciting though!
