You need to have $10,000 or less to qualify for food stamps and other government assistance.
If you do, the good news is you never have to file a tax return.
I’m not sure if you are joking but actually there is no asset test in most all states. Still is an income test.
As this is a consequence of the 2008 Farm Bill I was wondering if the asset test would be re-implemented if there were no Farm Bill extension.
