Key Factors for SNAP Eligibility
SNAP eligibility varies by state and household circumstances. The table below summarizes the main factors for FY 2025:
| Factor | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Household Size | Number of people living together and sharing expenses. | 1 to 8+ people |
| Gross Income | Total monthly income before taxes (limit: 130% of FPL in most cases). | $1,632 for 1 person (48 states, 2025) |
| Net Income | Income after deductions (e.g., housing, utilities; limit: 100% of FPL). | $1,255 for 1 person (48 states, 2025) |
| Deductions | Expenses like rent, utilities, child support, or dependent care. | $712 shelter cap (48 states, 2025) |
| Special Circumstances | Homelessness or elderly/disabled members may waive gross income test. | No gross income test for elderly/disabled |
Special circumstances, like homelessness or having elderly/disabled members, can increase eligibility or benefits. For example, elderly/disabled households may qualify without a gross income test and claim medical expense deductions over $35/month.
