Resource Limits
Resources are things like bank accounts, money market funds, certificates of deposit, and stocks and bonds. Some things never count, such as the value of the home. Most District residents applying for SNAP are determined categorically eligible and do not have a limit on resources.
If you apply for SNAP, the District will review your information to determine if a resource limit applies.
For households that have a resource limit, households may have $3,000 in countable resources. If the household includes a person who is age 60 or older or a person who has a disability, the resource limit is $4,500. Resource limits are set by the Federal government and are subject to change each October 1.
