How does a SSI applicant/recipient apply for food stamps?
Social Security offices notify you as a SSI applicant/ recipient of the benefits under the food stamp program and make a food stamp application available to you. Social Security offices can also take your food stamp application if: Your household is potentially eligible for SSI; You are not receiving food stamps; and You do not have a pending food stamp application. Food stamp applications may be taken with initial SSI claims or upon redetermination. You have the choice of applying at a local Social Security office or at a State food stamp office.
