What are the income guidelines?
Most SNAP applicants must not have more than the gross and net income limits. Gross income is your income before taxes and other deductions; net income is what’s left over after allowable deductions. Households with at least one member who’s disabled or age 60 or older only have to meet the net income limit. Persons who are categorically eligible for SNAP due to receipt of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), General Assistance and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are not required to have their income compared to the gross and net income poverty levels. The table below shows the monthly gross and net income limits and maximum allotment.
