. As of this ritin
nyone who receives Food
Stamps will prob�ly ha
already been notified of chang s
of sch du and eligibility. Th
USDA (United States Dep t
ment of Agriculture) changed
the eligibility requirements for
Food S mp customers which
were to go into effect March 1,
1979.
One of the most
important chang s to ta e place
relates to shelter deductions
which in the past used ctu I
costs of rent, utilities, child
care, etc. and deducted them
from your income. I
OW - th USDA ha
said that they ill only 110 a
maximum of $80.00 to b
deducted from your income to
help determine eligibility.
In other ords, no it
doesn't matter that you have to
pay $200.00 every month for
ren , that February's heating
bill was $75.00 and your
el ctric bill as $30.00 your
Food sump orkers ill only
be able to deduct the maximum
of $80.00 as your total elter
costs,
If you re currently on
AOC, AOC-U, Social Security,
SSI, Wor man's Compensation
or earn a minimal amount of
money, there is no assurance
that you eighter receive Food
Stamps or continue to get them.
