How much money can you make in Ohio while receiving food stamps?

The amount of money an Ohio resident can make and still receive public assistance benefits, such as food stamps, depends on the individual's circumstances. A family of three, for instance, can make up to $1,300 per month and still be eligible for food stamp benefits.

According to Ohio state guidelines, those who have income below the federal poverty guideline can qualify for food stamps. Residents must apply for these benefits to find out exactly how much per month can be obtained; the amount is based on circumstances such as total income, living expenses and the number of people in the home.
