INCOME ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS

There are three eligibility standards for SNAP.

GROSS INCOME ELIGIBILITY STANDARD

The gross income eligibility standard is 130% of the non-farm federal income poverty level (see Chart in J-300-SNAP).

EXCEPTION: Broad-Based Categorically Eligible (BBCE) households are subject to the gross income eligibility standard of 200% of the federal poverty level.

Gross income is the total amount of income before any deductions are made.

A household subject to the gross income eligibility standard is ineligible if gross income exceeds the limit by one dollar or more.

Households exempt from the gross income eligibility standard include those with:

• one or more elderly or disabled members, or • a member who is 59 but will turn 60 before the end of the application month, or • traditional categorical eligibility

The gross income eligibility standard at 130% of the federal poverty level is as follows:

HH Size Monthly Income 1 $1,696.00 2 $2,292.00 3 $2,888.00 4 $3,483.00 5 $4,079.00 6 $4,675.00 7 $5,271.00 8 $5,867.00 Each additional member + $596.00
