900 Income Eligibility Standards
1 rule
Participation in the Food Stamp Program shall be limited to those households whose incomes are determined to be a substantial limiting factor in permitting them to obtain a more nutritious diet. Households which contain an elderly or disabled member (as defined in the Glossary Manual) shall meet the net income eligibility standard. Households which do not contain an elderly or disabled member shall meet both the net income and the gross income eligibility standards. Households which are categorically eligible do not have to meet either the gross or net income eligibility standards. The net and gross income eligibility standards are found in the annual Basis of Issuance Chart.
