I hear about some people getting Food Stamps right away, or within a few days of applying. How is that possible?
Even if the food stamp office cannot do a complete eligibility interview for you on the same day you file your application; you at least must be screened to see if you qualify for what is called “expedited” consideration. If your household has little or no money and needs help right away, you may qualify for “expedited” food stamps. If you do, you must receive your initial Food Stamp benefit within five days. You will still have to complete the eligibility process, and supply all the required documentation at a later date.
