In Texas....
How many people live in the household is one of the determining factors of food stamp benefits, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. An individual living alone can get a maximum of $200 a month. A family of two can get $367; three, $526; four, $668; five, $793; six, $952; seven $1,052; eight $1,202. For more than eight family members, add $150 per additional person.
I hear section 8 vouchers in NYC can reach $2000 per month not including the aid they get for utilities.
