Rhode Island Department of Human Services SNAP Monthly Income Guidelines October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 The federal poverty level is changing on October 1, 2025, resulting in an increase to the income eligibility standards. Below is a comparison of last year’s and this year’s gross income limits. SNAP has two income levels: one for households without an older adult (someone age 60 or older) or someone with a disability (185 percent), and one for households with an older adult or someone with a disability (200 percent).

That income guideline also increased on October 1, 2025. Households with a member who is elderly or disabled may have higher gross incomes as long as they meet the net. Households of one or two people may be eligible by meeting the gross and not the net.
