food stamps q

how much will they add to your monthly amount once you have a newborn baby?

if it matters, the family recieves 150 ish a month with 3...

probably none if its anything like missouri
we got more in fs before LO was born than we did after we had him

You need to look at your states website and it will tell you the approximate amount per people in the household.

I don't think you get too much more, if any, with a newborn. Once you do your 6 month review, if your baby is over 6 months I think they add 50% of what they give an adult in your household. But yeah, generally the food stamps don't get increased because you should be receiving WIC

depends on the income on the case. my friend got almost 200 added for her newborn which is what they give for each person on her case because she has barley any income... even though she got wic so I really dont understand why they would give her anything when most if not all was paid for my wic already... but i guess all states are different

they added 250 for us when LO was born..

One of my friends just had a baby. Her FS went from $367 a month to $560 something.

i hope they had to go on them after they got pregnant-or why the heck have kids if you can't feed them just wondering

Quoting Susan Schultz:" i hope they had to go on them after they got pregnant-or why the heck have kids if you can't feed them just wondering"

Not every pregnancy is planned. Some may have gotten pregnant accidentally while on FS. Who are we to judge.
