--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this community resource, I will share a tool called the Texas food stamp
calculator.

This is a tool that you can use to determine not only if you qualify for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, but also how much you will
receive each month.

While this is not an official Texas Health and Human Services tool, it can still
be used to make the decision to apply for Texas food stamps or not. The process
of applying for SNAP requires time and effort and this tool will provide you
with insight to determine whether or not it is worth it to apply for benefits.

Keep reading to learn how you can use the Texas SNAP calculator to determine the
number of benefits you could receive.


WHAT IS THE TEXAS FOOD STAMP CALCULATOR?

This is a tool that helps you to determine if you qualify for Texas SNAP
benefits. If you do meet eligibility qualifications for food stamps, this tool
also provides you with an estimate of how much you could receive in SNAP
benefits each month.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS IN TEXAS

You will need to apply for SNAP benefits through the Texas Health and Human
Services Department to determine if you qualify for food stamps.

The only issue with this is it takes time and effort to apply for Texas food
stamps. You could spend time completing the application and gathering documents
only to be denied.

This SNAP benefits Texas calculator is not an official tool of THHS, but it can
provide you with a quick estimate to see if it is worth your while applying for
SNAP benefits in Texas.


HOW MUCH TEXAS FOOD STAMPS CAN I RECEIVE EACH MONTH

You can receive anywhere from $250 to $1504 each month in Texas SNAP benefits if
you qualify. The exact amount will be determined by your household size and
household income.

The Texas Health and Human Services Department makes the final decision but you
can estimate how much you might receive in monthly Texas food stamps by using
the:

 1. Texas Food Stamp Calculator – Step-by-step instructions of how the food
    stamp calculator will be offered in the next section. 
 2. Food Stamp Income Table – You will find this table below. You simply need to
    find your household size and then your household earned income. These two
    factors will provide you with an estimate on how much you could receive in
    SNAP benefits each month.

This is an estimate of the maximum amount of food stamps that Texas Health and
Human Services will provide you. 

Household SizeMaximum Month Food Stamp Benefits In
Texas1$2502$4593$6584$8355$9926$11907$13168$1504Each additional person. $188

Below is a table that lets you know what is the maximum income to qualify for
Texas food stamps.

Stamps1$17752$23963$30204$36445$4268Each additional person. $625

 


HOW TO USE THE TEXAS FOOD STAMP CALCULATOR

The food stamp calculator is a great resource for anyone who has questions
regarding whether they:

 1. Qualify for food stamps in Texas and…
 2. How much SNAP benefits they could potentially receive each month.

The Texas food stamp calculator can be found in a previous section of this
article. 



 *

You will land on a page that will provide you with a Texas food stamp
eligibility calculator. On this initial page, you will provide demographic
information like household size, household income, whether there is a senior
citizen or person with disabilities in your home, dependant care costs, and
more.

The table below is an example of each question that this food stamp calculator
for Texas will ask of you.

Information Needed For Food StampsWhy It MattersHousehold SizeThe more people
you have in your household, the more food stamp benefits you can potentially
qualify for. In terms of the SNAP program “household size” means the people you
live with and buy food for. You should count children 21 years and younger,
parents, and spouses that live under your roof. Does someone in your household
60 and older or have a disability? According to the SNAP Screener tool
“households with an elderly or disabled member do not need to meet gross income
tests”.Is everyone on the food stamp application a U.S. Citizen? For the most
part, food stamps are only available to U.S. Citizens.  You can learn more about
immigrants who may qualify for food stamps by either visiting the National
Immigration Law Center website or calling a local Texas food stamp
office. Monthly Household IncomeYou must fall under a specific income level to
qualify for food stamps in Texas.  You can read our guide titled What Is The
Food Stamp Income Limit In Texas to see if your household income
qualifies. Other Sources Of IncomeInstead of working, you may receive Social
Security benefits, child support in Texas, unemployment benefits, or other forms
of monthly income.  SNAP determines your eligibility based on these sources of
income also. Total Resources This includes things like the money in your bank
account. Dependent Care Costs This is a potential deduction that you can use to
lower your net income. The lower your net income the better chance that you have
to qualify for food stamps in Texas.  Other DeductionsOther deductions that you
can use include child support payments, rent/mortgage payments, homeowners
insurance.  It is crucial to add these expenses because again this will lower
your net income and make you more likely to qualify for SNAP benefits. Monthly
Bills That You PayMonthly bills like utilities, gas, water, heating and cooling
and your phone bill can also help you lower your net income. 

After answering the eligibility questions on this food stamp calculator, you
will need to hit the submit button.


UNDERSTANDING THE RESULTS OF THE FOOD STAMP CALCULATOR

Once you’ve entered all the necessary information, the food stamp calculator
will let you know whether you are possibly eligible for Texas SNAP benefits or
you might not be eligible.



 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 



Factors that determine whether or not you qualify for food stamps in Texas
include:

 * Gross Income Test – Your household must fall under s specific gross income.
   Your gross income is the total amount of monthly income that your household
   earns. According to the SNAP Screener tool “households with an elderly or
   disabled member do not need to meet gross income tests”.
 * Net Income Test – The net income must also fall under certain income levels.
   Your net income is the gross income minus your deductions for monthly
   expenses. It’s important to add every qualifying expense you have because
   this reduces your net household income. Our guide titled 4 Ways To Increase
   Your Monthly Food Stamp Amounts talks more about the “food stamp algorithm”m
   and exactly how they determine benefits.
 * Asset Test – This is a calculation of all your assets.


WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DID NOT QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS?

Remember the SNAP Screener only estimates whether or not you may qualify for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Texas. The Texas Health and Human
Services Department is the agency that makes the official decision.

You can apply for food stamps in Texas by visiting the Your Texas Benefits
website if you do not agree with the results of the food stamps eligibility
calculator.

If the SNAP benefits calculator believes that you are ineligible for food stamps
they will offer two alternatives for finding help with food:

 * A link to the Feeding America website. Here you can find food pantries in not
   only Texas but any other state in the US.
 * A link to the Google Find Food Support webpage. This webpage offers resources
   like links to food pantries in your area, information about SNAP, and grocery
   stores near you that accept the EBT card.


HOW TO FIND FOOD BANKS IN TEXAS

The easiest way to find Texas food banks located near you is by visiting the
website Feeding America.

To find a food bank in Texas you simply need to enter your zip code and they
will show you a listing of food pantries in your area.

Food stamp benefits are a huge help, but they may not be enough to feed your
family. If the Texas food stamp calculator indicates that you do not qualify for
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits then a local food bank could
be an alternative should you have food insecurity.


CONCLUSION

Before applying for Texas food benefits, consider using the food stamp
calculator for Texas. Although this tool is not sponsored by Texas Health and
Human Services it can estimate whether or not you will meet eligibility
requirements for this Texas food assistance program.

If you have a question about “how much food stamps I will get” the calculator
found in this article will help you answer that question. 

While the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has the ultimate say in who
receives SNAP benefits, this calculator can help you to understand whether or
not you may meet the necessary income limit for assistance and how much Texas
food stamp benefits you might receive each month.

      Hi Olivia I’m not sure of agencies that would help you with a bus ticket.
      Also not sure what part of Florida you are in, but Texas and Florida are
      both low on the list of states that provide assistance programs. If you
      are coming here for work or family, thats one thing, but just want to give
      you an honest opinion that both states are not really known for providing
      lots of resource programs.
      
      I will say that your plan of getting into a homeless shelter is a good way
      to get Section 8 or any housing faster. The individuals in homeless
      shelters are always higher priorities on waitlists. If you let me know
      your city I can let you know which local agencies screens people for
      Continuum of Care programs. These are essentailly programs that screen you
      for permanent supportive housing.
      
      Once you get to text just comment and I’ll let you know what family
      shelters are here in Houston.
