I'm new here and have some questions

[Lauren26]

well, are you out of status? some people who have status get socials, so look into that. if no status, it could take like 3-6 months.

mrs. lauren, how much does your husband make? i know many soldiers don't make much and some have to get food stamps (beyond shameful). see, he will need ot make around a certain amount of money. is like 20k a year. and if you work, it won't really count.

so if you husband makes less than the following (found it):

you will need a co-petioner that makes enough money.

Thanks..well we are PCSing in a month and a half so we will have to file for the papers once we get settled there. My husband makes roughly 36k per year. I'm sure that's enough even though it's still fairly low.
We are not even eligible for WIC for our son and me since our household income in our county is too much than what it should be.
