SNAP Eligibility | Food and Nutrition Service
Your local SNAP office will provide you with information about how to recertify.Who is in a SNAP household?Everyone who lives together and purchases and prepares meals together is grouped together as one SNAP household.Some people who live together, such as spouses and most children under age 22, are included in the same SNAP household, even if they purchase and prepare meals separately.If a person is 60 years of age or older and unable to purchase and prepare meals separately because of a permanent disability, the person and the person's spouse may be a separate SNAP household if the others they live with do not have very much income (no more than 165 percent of the poverty level).Normally you are not eligible for SNAP benefits if an institution gives you most of your meals. There are exceptions for elderly persons and disabled persons.What resources can I have and still get SNAP benefits?Currently, households may have $2,750 in countable resources (such as cash or money in a bank account) or $4,250 in countable resources if at least one member of the household is age 60 or older, or is disabled. These amounts are updated annually.However, certain resources are NOT counted when determining eligibility for SNAP:A home and lot;Resources of people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI);Resources of people who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF; also known as welfare); andMost retirement and pension plans (withdrawals from these accounts may count as either income or resources depending on how often they occur).Depending on which state you live in, you may be able to have more resources than the above limits and still be eligible for SNAP. Most state agencies have adopted broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE), which allows state agencies to align income and resource limits with their TANF-funded programs. Under BBCE, households are categorically eligible for SNAP if they are eligible to receive a TANF or maintenance of effort (MOE) state-funded non-cash benefit. Even if you meet the BBCE income and resource limit in your state, you will still need to meet non-financial eligibility rules and have an income low enough to receive SNAP benefits.Do vehicles count as resources?Vehicles count as a resource for SNAP purposes.

How to Discuss Finances with Aging Parents - CalPERS PERSpective
If your parent decides to age in place, ensure their house is safe, accessible, and suited to their needs. There are a variety of programs available that offer help with transportation, older adults’ rights, and other support services.
Plan for Pets
If your parents have pets, plan for their care if they should outlive your parents. Will a friend, family member, or neighbor adopt them? Is there money allocated in your parent’s trust to pay for the pet’s food and care? Note that most animal shelters accept pets on a case-by-case basis, there may be a lengthy waitlist, and you may be required to pay surrendering fees.
Additional Resources

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau offers tools and resources for those managing the finances of an older adult friend or family member.
The National Council on Aging has money tips for older adults.
The National Institute on Aging provides information for how to manage money for people with dementia, including legal financial planning.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) have a Money Smart for Older Adults Program that includes free instructor-led courses covering topics like scams, exploitation, and unexpected life events.

Understanding VA Survivors benefits and best practices for avoiding posthumous scams - VA News
Chapter 35 benefits and the Fry Scholarship are the two main G.I. Bill programs offering educational assistance to survivors and dependents of Veterans who died in the line of duty or as a result of service-related disabilities.
Home Loan Guaranty
Home loan benefits are available for surviving spouses receiving DIC. Spouses of deceased Veterans who were on the VA-guaranteed loan can refinance their VA loan to obtain a lower interest rate through VA’s Interest Rate Reduction Refinancing Loan (IRRRL).
If a surviving spouse is having trouble making their mortgage payments, VA can provide counseling to help avoid foreclosure—even if the loan isn’t a VA-guaranteed loan. Surviving spouses can contact a VA loan technician at 877-827-3702 anytime to discuss their loan. They can also send a message online through the home loan guaranty support portal.
Health Care
Survivors and dependents of Veterans may qualify for health care benefits, such as VA’s Civilian Health and Medical Program, which shares the cost of most health care services and supplies with unmarried surviving spouses and children.
VA Caregiver Support Program
Advance care planning allows the caregiver and the Veteran to make important health care wishes known in advance, including assigning a trustworthy individual to make medical decisions for the Veteran if they are not able to. An advance directive is crucial for ensuring that the wishes and preferences of both caregivers and the individuals they care for are respected, particularly in times of medical crisis or incapacity.
Timely reporting and posthumous scams
VA is committed to protecting the legacy of Veterans and their loved ones. Spreading awareness of the need for the timely reporting of a Veteran’s death and posthumous scams are two more of the many ways VA supports survivors.
Timely reporting to VA helps family members avoid posthumous scams, which can cause additional financial and emotional stress during an already difficult time.
Best practices to avoid survivors benefits scams:

Save important files such as the Veteran’s military service/treatment records, discharge papers, and copies of their VA claims.
Go to the VA website for guidance on creating an account and obtaining a VA security Personal Identification Number (PIN) to securely access benefit information.

Property and debts in a divorce | California Courts | Self Help Guide
In some cases, if you used community money to pay down a student loan, the spouse who didn't get the education can get reimbursed for their share of community money spent on the other spouse's education. Talk to a lawyer if either of you have a lot of student debt.

You may have more community property than you realize. Many people don’t think about retirement or pension plans. You have the right to part of the money in that plan if any of it was earned during your marriage.  
You may have more community debts than you realize. Your spouse may have debt in only their name that you don’t know about. Usually, these debts belong to you both. 

Example: home mortgage
If you took out a mortgage to buy a house while married, that debt is community property. You’re both responsible for it.  

Example: car 
If you bought a car with money that only you earned while married, the car is community property even though the money used to pay for it was earned by you and not your spouse. It doesn't matter if only you drive it.

How to tell when something is separate property 
Generally, separate property is: 

Anything you earned or owned (or a debt) from before you married or after you separated 

Anything you buy with separate property or you earn from separate property 

Gifts or inheritance (to one of you) even if it was given or inherited when you were married 

If you have separate property, it belongs only to you, as long as it was kept separately. Kept it separately means you didn’t give it to your spouse.

Example: Car before you married
You had a car from before you married. You got married. You sold the car and used all that money (and no other money) to buy a different car. That car is your separate property even though you bought it while married.  

Example: vacation after separation
After you separated, you went on vacation and charged the vacation to your credit card. This is your separate debt.

Sometimes property is part community, part separate 
Property can be part community and part separate. This is called commingling.
