Well I'm sorry to those who feel that just because you're in college, you don't need government assistance. I recieved food stamps as an undergrad and I needed it. I worked on campus 20 hrs a week and had federal work study, but guess what $5.25 an hr doesn't pay utilities, rent, and buy groceries! Thank God I am now in grad school and have an assistantship, so I no longer qualify b/c I am over the max. amount for 1 person to recieve benefits.
There are guidelines and as long as you meet them you're good to go. It's not like I just sat up, did nothing and ate steak w/ my Link Card. I worked, but it wasnt enough.
