Many veterans rely on VA compensation to help cover the costs of their living expenses, including food. However, some veterans may wonder if their VA compensation counts as income when determining their eligibility for food stamps. The answer is yes, VA compensation does count as income for food stamps purposes.
This means that veterans who receive VA compensation will need to report it when they apply for food stamps. The amount of VA compensation that a veteran receives will be counted as part of their gross income. This will then be used to determine their eligibility for food stamps and the amount of benefits they will receive.
