Check Out CT's Food Stamp Program

If you are elderly and living in the community, or if you have a loved one who is elderly and they are feeling the pinch of recent increases in food prices then it may be worth it to check out the eligibility rules for Connecticut's food stamp program.

As of October, 2007, the monthly gross income limit for a couple is $1,484, and for a single person it's $1,107.

But the limit for liquid assets (not including the house) is only $3,000.

If you qualify, the monthly benefit is close to $300 for a couple and $162 for a single person.
