Food Stamps

The Food Stamp program can help you buy food, if you qualify.  The Food Stamp program has higher income limits than some other programs, so you may want to consider applying for Food Stamps even if you are denied other help from DSS.

LawNY has special help available in Wayne and Monroe counties to help you get food stamps.  If you live in Wayne County, call our Geneva office at 315-781-1465.  If you live in Monroe County, call our Rochester office at 585-295-5624. 

If you believe you need food stamps, the only way for any legal services office to figure out whether you were properly denied is to see the written denial from DSS.  Apply and ask for a copy of the denial.

LawNY offices may be able to help you with problems such as welfare terminations, divorces, evictions, SSI denials, or other problems if you live in one of these counties we cover.
