[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not married so it is based solely on her income so she should be getting benefits.  She does not need to report the boyfriend.  Its not relevant or how it works.[/quote]

Really? Even if the boyfriend is the father and they live in the same household? [/quote]

No, they will probably go after him for child support but it goes by marriage which is one reason people don't get married.[/quote]

STOP. Every time someone posts about assistance, someone like you responds with INCORRECT information.

Research your state's food stamp (SNAP) policies for details.

It's more likely that you, op, are correct: if he's the father of the kids, he probably needs to be included, if he lives with them.

If you want to report them, fine. But for your own sake, just remember that for all you know, she's receiving all benefits legally, but lying about her boyfriend's income. [/quote]

Thank you, PP!  The SNAP program, the name of the food stamp program, is funded by the USDA and is administered by state and local governments.  The USDA defines a family for eligibility purposes as any group, related or otherwise, who lives together and purchases and prepares meals together.  Take that for what you will.  Medicaid applies similar criteria. So, OP, if you are aware that she is lying about her household make up, you may have evidence of a program violation.

I personally think that OP is here to stir up trouble as evidenced by her frequent, incredulous responses to posters questioning her desire to report.  I work with a population that relies on food stamps and Medicaid while working crappy, minimum wage jobs.  They are doing their best to get by and are honest people. [/quote]
