People who are on strike, unless they were eligible for food stamps before the strike or have been locked out or permanently replaced. Even if your income and assets are low enough to be eligible, you may have to register for work to get food stamps. You may also have to participate in an education and training program. You may also be penalized if you quit a job or refuse to take a job that the food stamp office finds for you. You also do not have to take a job that is not the kind of work you have done before, if you have been registered for work with the program for less than 31 days.
Assets are money or property.
Assets also include cars, trucks, boats, land, buildings and other valuable property. Remember, if you are caring for a minor child at home, your car and other assets will not affect your eligibility. They will count the total value of any additional vehicle that you own. DHS will not count all of your income in deciding whether you can get food stamps and how many you will get. Some income may not count at all, and some expenses will be deducted from you income in determining the amount of food stamps that you will get.
