Can you apply food stamps benefits if you don't have a job?

Im jobless for almost a year now but have not applied for gov assistance benefits Iike food stamps. Thing is when I lost my job. I kept searching for jobs but I didn't find anything so I decided to apply for unemployment benefits but I got to find out it was only approved for 3 months. Now I ran out of benefits and no longer eligible to continue benefits. My child is receiving Medicaid through the state because of his disability. Now I'm not sure if I'm eligible to apply for food stamps and will it have any effect on my child Medicaid. Also is there any other resources to consider looking into.
