How Will My Children's Social Security Affect Food Stamps?

Will the foodstamp office be able to see my kids auxillary benefits that they recieve through me from my SSDI once I apply for foodstamps. And will that affect the amount we will recieve from foodstamps and SSDI.

Hi,

I'm not an expert on the food stamp program, so I can't fully answer your question. I do know that your children's Social Security benefits have no effect on your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefit rate, nor would your SSDI benefits be affected by the receipt of food stamps.

Best, Jerry
