I forgot to mention I also get Disability Insurance money where I live but it's a different type than my daughter's. My renewals are just one page of pa... |

| There are a couple of programs in Florida that can help you towards home ownership. I would have to do more research on it because I haven't looked into it for several years.

| I don't believe they would cut off your food stamps (SNAP). Your income on SSI is very low----so I would believe that you would be eligible for at least some food stamps. how much though? im getting roughly 700$ in ssi. and i was getting 192$ in foodstamps. im just hoping they wont cut it too much |
