Am i still eligible for oregon Foodstamps?

Basically, i'm a career student, and i've recently got an apartment, my whole situation has been confusingly chaotic.

I have no work, (it's next to impossible to get nowadays) and I was supposed to receive work study funds, but because my previous situation had a razor tight curfue, i dared not try for it until my situation became a little more secure.

well, i found out that my work study was detracted due to me not acting on it, which is not truly a big deal.

however, one of the qualifications for receiving foodstamps in oregon as a student clearly states that i must be participating in federal funded workstudy, which i was planning on doing this upcoming term.

I've already turned my updated snaps report, complete with current state of income (i have none) and the amount of loans i'm receiving.

I've checked my budget, and while i can still afford rent, I cannot afford food without foodstamps.

so, will my updated situation affect my rumbling stomach's access to food? or do i have to start eating humans from now on? (P.S. Humans taste bad.)

And don't even think about citing a wiki or (god forbid the SNAPS main page, i want personal experience under similar or identical circumstances.

    I'm curious if you realize being a student without working a minimum amount of hours per week (around 20) disqualifies you from most social services, food stamps included.
