Medicare Grocery Benefit
A grocery allowance is not available through traditional Medicare. Select Medicare Advantage plans may offer one, including special needs plans (SNP and D-SNPs). Check with your provider for eligibility and program availability.
Food Stamps for Seniors on Social Security
Seniors and others who receive Social Security can indeed qualify for food stamps. For any adults who are over 60 or have a disability, there are two conditions that must be met. First, your net income must be equal to or less than the federal poverty line (FPL) – which varies by state. Second, your assets must be $4,250 or less.
