<prompt> Human: Let me work on describing my current situation! Im a 20 year old. Im in college, living with two roommates. During the school year, I work two jobs: I work at local supermarket as a cake decorator for 16 hours on the weekends, and I work as a tutor on campus for 20 hours during the weekdays. During the summer, I continue decorating and usually am looking for a second job of some sort. My parents still claim me as a dependent, but they dont help me with everyday finances. They pay my car insurance I have an old car; its pretty cheap, and I get to benefit from their medical insurance. Im using a Parent Plus Loan to pay for college. My parents take it out for me but Ill be the one making the payments on it. I have a 350 dollar rent. 30-50 dollar utilities. And a 200-300 dollar CareCredit payment every month due to a 7000 dental bill long story with that. I also pay for a kitten. Shes relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things though. No pet deposit here or monthly fee. ---I was explaining my huge dental bill to some coworkers yesterday, because I was asking if they know any cheap places to rent. After this year, my two roommates move out and I would prefer to live by myself if possible. My cat IS an emotional support animal, but most of the efficiency apartments Im finding dont allow pets. Because I have so much to pay for dental, one of my coworkers said I should be able to get benefits. I dont even know what that would entail, or if Im legible considering Im a dependent. I was looking into EBTfood stamps affter she said that out of curiosity and it mentions SNAP. Usually when I register for loans every year, it asks me about SNAP benefits. If I DID get EBT, how would that effect my loans for this year or the year to come? Also in terms of EBT, it mentions households. I LIVE in a three-person household, but each of us are completely separate from each other. We dont pay for groceries together. So would I still be able to get them? I make about 1440 a month WITHOUT taxes taken out and live in Iowa. And I only make that much during the school year, I make a lot less in the summer struggling to find a second job reliably. Thanks for any advice on my situation!  <response>: College students living off loans and their parents generally dont qualify for government benefits.
