My state's website wants me to fill out a form that lists all the members of my household and disclose what the household income is. Problem is if I include my dad I most likely will not be able to qualify. And I can't like write on the form anywhere "yes I live at home with my dad and he makes well over $30k a year, but he won't help me financially unless he feels like it." I really don't know what to do. I keep running out of money and food, I need EBT and cash assistance but if I lie and don't include my dad or lie about the household income, that's fraud and I could get in a lot of trouble I can't handle.
The fuck am I supposed to do? Has any other comrades ran into anything like this before? I know every state is different but maybe someone else on here lives at home with a wealthy parent and still qualified for EBT.
Help!!
My thought is that it would depend on whether your dad claims you as a dependent on his taxes. If he isn't listing you as a dependent, then he's not your head of household--he's your landlord. That's my 2 cents, anyway.
