What are the eligibility criteria for families to receive maximum SNAP benefits?

Income Limits:

Based on the number of people living in the home, households must meet both gross and net monthly income limits.

You must make less than or equal to 130% of the federal poverty line (FPL) each month. Through September 30, 2025, this will cost a family of four $3,380 a month.

The monthly net income must be at or below 100% of the FPL. This costs $2,600 a month for a family of four.

Family units with a member aged 60 or older or disabled only need to meet the net income test.

Resource Limits:

A household may have $3,000 in resources that can be counted, like bank accounts. This goes up to $4,500 if there is an elderly or disabled person in the household.

Some things, like the value of your home, are not counted.

A lot of households are categorically eligible and don’t have a limit on their resources.

Work Requirements:

Adults 18–52 years old who are healthy and don’t depend on anyone else must work or be in a work program for 20 hours a week for more than three months in a 36-month period in order to get SNAP.

Children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and pregnant women are not required to work.
