Citizen and food stamps

[questions7444 0]

Previously this year I, the US citizen, attempted to apply for food stamps. I originally did not even want my husband on the application at all because I know he is not eligible being a permanent resident. I filled out an online application and was called for interview. The lady at the interview insisted that he must be on the application in order for me to receive the benefit. I stated that he was not working and not a US citizen. She entered all of the data but still seemed to be hung up by the citizenship issue for him. She sent me home with a document with all of the things needed to complete the application, such as pay stubs, etc. I never completed this as I got a job offer the very next day so I no longer had a need for food stamps.

Now that my husband is getting close to citizenship, and I just read someone else's topic on a similar thread regarding citizenship claims, I am worried that she put down that he was a citizen on the application. She filed out her portion on her computers but I never got a print out of the whole thing. I also never completed the pieces which she requested so the application was never actually processed. Mind you, my husband did not fill out any application and he was not at the interview nor did he send in any documentation.

Anyone have any ideas? If it was never fully completed would it even be in the system almost a year later? Am I being paranoid? How can I find out about the application?

He has not signed anything or made personal claims to be USC... should'nt be a problem to him

You always have to include him as a member of the household and include his income however, he as a person won't be receiving foodstamps but his income is taken into consideration. Anyways..

No benefit was granted(or fully applied for), he didn't sign any forms. If you want to be 170% sure, go back and ask what they have on file on him through your application. She probably insisted because she either didn't have a box for LPRs, or because she couldn't find the right one to tick.

I get that alot in this area. There has been one person only who knew exactly what to ask for and where to put a tick(the BMV of all places).

I have food stamps for my kids. There were no questions about it in my interview. Don't worry. Even if he would use it, he will have his citizenship; it can only matter for you - in theory, the government has a right to take from you that it spent on support of immigrant (I didn't hear about real cases). If you didn't use it, you can forget it.

I am not concerned regarding his using them because we never finished the process. I am just worried about the lady not marking the right thing down for him regarding his non citizenship on an unfinished claim.

However as others have said, I guess as long as he did not try to make a claim and it was her mistake then it should be ok, I hope.
