College students working at least 20 hours a week and earning no more than $1107 per month can qualify for up to $162 in food stamps per month. Even if their parents pay their tuition and rent...and can afford to buy their groceries.
More college students using food stamps - 08/12/2008 - MiamiHerald.com
If you are a college student, would you do this? If you are a parent, would you encourage your kid to apply for food stamps, even if you could afford all of their expenses?
I don't see many students whose parents can pay their full way applying for foodstamps. In fact, it's pretty complicated for them to even get foodstamps, and certain of their $$ is counted as income (from grants and such).
