Title: Food Stamps- see if you qualify!

NOTE: If your whole household receives Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or other government benefits, you might be eligible for SNAP benefits even if your assets are high. This is because in that case, your assets don't count. This is called "Categorical Eligibility." The rules for Categorical Eligibility are different in each state. But TANF and SSI always give you Categorical Eligibility. So, if your whole household receives TANF or SSI, DO NOT fill in any assets on this page.

So you probably need to go on disability - http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/what-conditions-qualify.html (http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/what-conditions-qualify.html)

Apparently TANF is by state-- Here is the qualification calculator for Colorado

At least when asking about assets they asked about cash on hand.  It doesn't seem to have anything to say about boating accidents.

UPDATE:From the Colorado TANF Calculator -

They start asking this question  when your girl is 12.

And don't forget the govt benefit finder!

Nothing. If you read more closely they ask only first name, and  tell you that you can use a nick-name
My name was A, my wife's B, my daughter C, and my son D. Heavan forbid anyone find out you are looking it up. You know that whole stigma that comes from being a moocher loser.

The Galt Family is not eligible.

John Galt lives  in a Valley in Colorado with no income  - of course he is  eligible!

John Galt is 45 years old and lives in Ouray County. He has no medical problems, no family, no housing  expenses,no utility bills, no assets (besides his home, which doesn't count)  and no income.

It looks like you may be able to get these programs
Food Assistance Program   
   It looks like your household may be able to get help buying food each month.
   Keep in mind that even a small number of benefits each month can help you buy more meat, fruits and vegetables. And over the course of a year, these benefits can really add up!
   Keep in mind that some people are not able to get Food Assistance benefits, including some people on strike, some non-citizens, and some college students. In most cases, their children and other people in the home may still be able to get benefits.
   A special note for non-citizens: getting Food Assistance benefits will not hurt your immigration status.
   Keep in mind you must be a Colorado resident to receive benefits.
   You may be able to get Food Assistance benefits within 7 days after you apply.
    
 
Medical Assistance   
   Based on what you told us today, it looks like John Galt may be eligible for Medical Assistance.
   Medical Assistance programs considered are: Adult Medical
   Keep in mind you must be a United States Citizen to receive benefits.
   Keep in mind you must be a Colorado resident to receive benefits.
   Further determination of eligibility is contingent on a detailed review of your household income and resources.

Of course, I guess one could say John is "on strike" - but luckily that won't affect his wife or kids if he had them!

John Galt also signed up for SNAP

It appears that you may be eligible for SNAP benefits. Based on the information you provided, you may be eligible for between $190 to $200 in SNAP benefits per month.

John Galt is America's problem you know. He isn't on benefits, but he <SHOULD> be. (http://washingtonexaminer.com/feds-too-few-americans-turn-to-government-for-assistance/article/2506052#.UDvicqOYJi6)
