<prompt> Human: Hi there PF,After budgeting out my expenses and income for the coming college school year, including rent for my own apartment with roommate, insurance, medical bills etc, I found that I only have roughly 30 dollars a month to spend on groceries and toiletries and what have you. This really isnt enough, and I work at least 30 hours a week and will be trying to find more work, but the bottom line is that I wont have very much money at all.I come from a single parent household, and my mom does the best she can to support me and help me figure out my finances; she is very type-A however, and absolutely hates things like government assistance because she didnt need it growing up. I feel like it would be really beneficial to helping me get on my feet this year. My question is:Is is possible to apply for SNAPEBT without letting my parent know? Is it taxable income, and will it show up on my taxes that she helps me with?  <response>: I cant speak to SNAP requirements but wanted to let you know that many universities can help you find student food banks, if they exist in your area. I worked for the UO in Eugene and theres a church that runs a student food bank close to campus. You just have to have a student ID. This can really help students who are struggling.
