Oklahoma Food Stamp Program
Thursday May 11, 2006
Here's another article in my continued effort to build the library of helpful resources on About OKC. How much do you know about the food stamp program in Oklahoma, its mission and its requirements? The fact is that there are people in genuine need of assistance for nutritional food items, and that's exactly the purpose of food stamps. Here are 10 Things You Need to Know about applying for food stamps in Oklahoma.

Very helpful.
One thing about the foodstamp program is that they do NOT go by the net income, they always go by gross income.
I think the program sucks. You see young healthy people able to get jobs on the program. Yes I understand there maybe a reason but I do know some of them lie to get them. We are retired and disable wish I can get a job but no one hire me I have try. Husband on cancer treatment and other medical problems. What really get me born and raised here and can’t get help just for awhile. Hate to say it I feel like we are being discriminate against because of who we are.
well, i don’t think the program sucks, if you want this bad enough you you can get it. and not all of us are lying to the food stamps people to get them, and guess what everybody has problems, you think everyone else with cancer is whining about the food stamps program, no i dont think so. everyone has problems so get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and stop feeling sorry for yuorsel
I think the program sucks too!!! I make too much on unemployment to qualify??? The lady I spoke with at the ElReno, OK office even laughed at me. It’s unfortunate that when someone has a need, they are made to feel humiliated (for the record, I have never requested assistance from the government). Maybe this person thought I was asking her for money instead of assistance from the government, which by the way I might add, that my tax dollars pay her salary and this program. Sorry, but these people should be be in our place. Then they would know what it’s like.
