We applied for food stamps when my husband no longer could work due to diabetic proliferative retinopathy. We were approved. Apparently that was a mistake and the government wants us to repay the 6 months of benefits they gave us. around 5000.00 dollars, we have a family of 5.
We are already filing for bankruptcy, can we add this to it??

I don’t think so – most government payments are excluded from bankruptcy protection, but check with your lawyer to be sure. Also, sometimes government programs have a waiver or hardship exception that reduces or eliminates repayment of overpaid benefits. Talk with your social worker about that.
