true, but not neccessarily, i got approved for 16/month foodstamps and I'm single with unemployment coming biweekly at 514 dollars.

In WI, a gross income of $1,800/month disqualifies one person from food stamps. If unemployment were my only income, I'd be on food stamps, too.

Well, actually in my state, if you make $ 1,100 or more a month, in UC benefits, you do not qualify for even one dollar worth of Food Stamps...

You're going backwards from what I said. Your food stamps will not affect unemployment as it's not means tested. They also will not affect any social services benefits as with most if not all (ADFC/WIC/HEAP/Medi/etc.) you'd automatically qualify for corresponding food stamps anyhow.

I. Receive unemployment benefits in Florida and I just qualified for food stamps for myself and my school age daughter. Will my unemployment benefits be cut when I declare this?

You do NOT report food stamp income when claiming unemployment benefits.

Unemployment is NOT interested in assistance of any form such as food stamps, energy, Section 8 housing, nor any tax refund.

In most states, the unemployment office does need to know about:

Back Pay Award
Bonuses
Commissions
Holiday Pay
Idle Time Pay
In Lieu of Notice
Jury Fees
Paid Sick Leave
Pensions and 401k withdrawals
Piece Work
Residual Pay/Holding Fees
Self-Employment
Severance Pay
Social Security Benefits (in only a few states)
Strike Benefits
Tips
Vacation Pay
Witness Fees
Workers’ Compensation
