Im ex-offender. Can I get food stamps and Medicaid
Q) Im ex-offender just got out of prison on January 20,2019. Can I get food stamps and Medicaid
A) Some states do restrict felons of certain crimes from receiving food stamps. Eighteen states have completely abandoned the federal prohibition on drug offenders receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, or food stamps. Twenty-six other states have partly eased those restrictions, often by providing the benefits only if the recipient complies with parole, does not commit a second offense, enrolls in treatment, etc. At least three more states — Georgia, Nebraska, and Indiana — are now considering similar reforms.

Felons are eligible to get any type of health insurance including Medicaid, Medicare and private health insurance after being released from prison.
Beautiful service from my SNAP office. No complaints. This area to make a “comment” is the only piece of paper I could find to ask the following question. Why am I constantly getting messages by phone and by my emails regarding all the things I’m missing because I’m being short-changed by my local office. (I am not being short-changed though). Why the CONSTANT messages? What’s wrong? Why am I getting them? On two occasions, I responded to the emails because i became curious. Both emails returned to me stating there was no such address. How can I stop these communications? Anybody listening?
