Can a married couple receive food stamps while living in the wife's parents house?

-Hi everyone. I recently lost my job as a youth pastor, as the church can no longer afford the salary in their budget. So my wife and I had to move into her parents home. We just found out she is pregnant, and we are trying to get all assistance possible. I'm desperately trying to get another job, but currently we're living on her income alone. Is it possible for us to get foodstamp aid? We pay for our own food, as her dad and stepmom are more often in another state where her dad is working under contract. Any advice?Of course you can! As long as her income is low enough. Just fill the paperwork out online. You can even do a phone interview instead of going into the office. They will send you the food stamp card in the mail. She can even get medicaid insurance for her pregnancy. They'll count you as a household of 3 since they count the unborn baby.



I wish you well and hope you can get back on your feet soon! We're in a similar predicament.1. I would not want ANYONE counseling my youth that is stupid enough to get his wife pregnant when he is not even employed. 2. No you cannot simply claim yourselves in the household and collect off hard working people. The parents will be included in the income. 3. Go get a job.
I tried to get assistance myself. Every state has different requirements. You need to call your state assistance program to see if you qualify. Good luck.
