<prompt> Human: Im 19, I live on my own. Food takes up a ton of my budget so Im wondering are there any disadvantages to getting food stamps or an EBT card? Or is it really just free food?Update: I applied and make 100 a month too much to qualify :  <response>: Those services are there to help you when youre in need. If you cant afford to buy food for yourself, thats what programs like SNAP are for.
