  Modify the Lump Sum Rule   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Families that receive lump sums are actually worse off than those on public assistance because they lose their food stamp eligibility for being over the resource level, but are required to live at the public assistance standard of need.
The balance is treated as a lump sum which the recipient can either turn over to the county to avoid the rule (if the amount of assistance received in the past meets or exceeds the amount of the remainder) or face the disqualification imposed by the rule.
Although there is no lump sum rule in the food stamp program, the lump sum is considered income in the month received, and a resource thereafter, meaning that so long as the resource exceeds the food stamp resource rules, the family is ineligible for food stamps.
