TIPS

Food stamps are support from the government that help low-income households buy the food they need. Food stamps will not hurt your application for legal status or US citizenship. They will not make you a public charge. You will not be reported to Immigration for applying (unless you present an official order of deportation to the food stamp worker). Even if you do not qualify, your citizen children may still qualify. The rules have changed recently. Even if you have applied in the past and were not eligible, you may qualify now.
