Iowa Food Stamp Allotment
Iowa Food Stamp Allotment benefits is based on the number of people per household. Iowa residents in need of Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits must first qualify for food stamp benefits. The dollar amount or (allotment) that the household gets is determined yearly by US Department Of Agriculture – USDA. The net monthly income of the Iowa household is multiplied by .3, and the result is subtracted from the maximum allotment for the household size to find the household’s allotment. This is because SNAP (Food Stamp) households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their resources on food.

Applied and was approved and then 2 weeks later now we are not. Absolutely ridiculous to truly need this to bridge this difficult time in our lives only to have the rug ripped from right underneath us. Forget being a hard working citizen, paying taxes until I was 34. What a joke.
