Short-term disability is a type of insurance that provides income to people who are unable to work due to a disability. Food stamps are a government assistance program that provides food to low-income individuals and families. While short-term disability benefits can vary depending on the individual’s policy, they typically provide a percentage of the person’s income for a limited period of time.
There are no federal rules that prohibit people from receiving food stamps while on short-term disability. However, each state has its own rules for determining eligibility for food stamps, and these rules may vary. In some states, people who are receiving short-term disability benefits may be eligible for food stamps if they meet certain income and asset limits. In other states, people who are receiving short-term disability benefits may not be eligible for food stamps.
