What Resources Can I Have (and Still Get SNAP benefits)?

Households may have $2,250 in countable resources, such as a bank account, or $3,250 in countable resources if at least one person is age 60 or older, or is disabled. However, certain resources are NOT counted, such as a home and lot, the resources of people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the resources of people who receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), and most retirement (pension) plans.
If people who do not need the assistance but can weasel the language and their assets in such a way to technically qualify receive SNAP, you have just taken food from those who need help. Perhaps you can also go to the local food banks and be sure to get the last turkey for Thanksgiving depriving a family with no other option of that meal. I hope your OP was intended as humor.
