Is my SSI counted as income when applying for SNAP benefits?

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Q) Is my SSI counted as income when applying for SNAP benefits? Thgere are 2 people in my household. I receive the SSI and my husband has no income.

A) Under Federal law, all income is counted to determine eligibility for SNAP unless it is explicitly excluded. For SNAP purposes, “income” includes both earned income such as wages and unearned income such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and veterans, disability, and death benefits.

  1. Why aren’t retained health insurance from previous employment considered a debt just as a house payment is considered a debt? Would Oklahoma rather force applicants to drop their health insurance and use state offered health insurance to qualify for SNAP? Instead of allowing them to retain the health benefits they choose to retain and therefore their health insurance is a monthly debt just the same as rent or a car payment?
