Resource limits Households that include an elderly or disabled member $4,500 All other households $3,000 Expanded Resource Program (ERP) households $25,000 Reporting Requirements ERP households must report if their gross income goes over 130% of the FPL. If their gross income is above 130% of the FPL, they are not required to report income increases until they reapply for SNAP. However, if at any time an ERP household’s gross income decreases to below 130% of the FPL, they are required to report if their income increases to over 130% of the FPL, but only for the first time during a certification period. This does not change how non-ERP households, whose gross income limit remains 130%, must report changes.
