Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can be used like cash to buy
eligible food items from authorized retailers. Authorized retailers will display
a "We Welcome SNAP EBT Customers" poster.

A SNAP account is established for eligible households and automatic deposits are
made into the account each month. To access the account, they will also receive
an EBT Card, which will debit the account each time eligible food items are
purchased. A secret Personal Identification Number (PIN) is required to use the
card. Learn more about SNAP and how to apply with these helpful interactive
learning modules.

To qualify, households must meet specific income eligibility limits that vary
based on the size of the household. For detailed information on the Net Monthly
Income, Gross Monthly Income and Maximum SNAP Allotments per household size,
visit our income eligibility section.

SNAP INCOME ELIGIBILITY LIMITS

The chart below provides income eligibility standards and maximum allotments for
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for federal fiscal year
2025. Your household must meet certain requirement to be eligible for SNAP and
receive benefits. In most cases, your household must meet both the gross and net
income limits described below or you are not eligible for SNAP and cannot
receive benefits.

Gross income means a household's total, non-excluded income, before any
deductions have been made.

Net income means gross income minus allowable deductions.

The total amount of SNAP benefits your household gets each month is called an
allotment. Because SNAP households are expected to spend about 30 percent of
their own resources on food, your allotment is calculated by multiplying your
household's net monthly income by 0.3 and subtracting the result from the
maximum monthly allotment for your household size.

If all members of your household are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or other general
assistance, your household may be deemed "categorically eligible" for SNAP
because you have already been determined eligible for another means-tested
program.

Your household may also be deemed "categorically eligible" through broad-based
categorical eligibility (BBCE) if one person in your household is receiving or
authorized to receive a TANF-funded service that benefits the entire household.

Apply for SNAP on-line at CommonHelp, by calling 833-522-5582 or by visiting
your local department of social services.
