Work Rules for People without Children

Do you have a low-income and no children?

You may be able to get up to $200 a month in SNAP/Food Stamps, depending on your income:

1. A single person with little or no income can get up to $200 a month in SNAP/Food Stamps. 
2. A couple can get up to $
3. You should not lose benefits because of work rules. Some people have to do job search once a year. A few people have to go to an education or training program or do community service to get SNAP/Food Stamps. But most people do not have to do any of these things to get SNAP/Food Stamps.
4. You should not lose SNAP/Food Stamps because of “time limits.” There used to be a 3-month time limit on SNAP/Food Stamps for some people. Some people who were between 18-49 lost their benefits after 3 months, if they did not meet the work rules. The SNAP/Food Stamps rules are different now. The time limit does not apply to anyone in Massachusetts now.
5. Call your local legal services office if you have trouble getting SNAP/Food Stamps because of a work rule or time limit or any other SNAP/Food Stamps problem.
