    Thank you.

    Unemployment has nothing to do with assets - it's about whether you can work.

    Normally they will want household income, you will need to ask the case worker with who you are applying though

    I apologize, that was an error in my original question. I meant to say "when I apply for food stamps", not "unemployment." Thank you.
