Additional Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Considerations

The people listed below are not household members for SNAP even though they may live in the household.

Ineligible students: Students in post-secondary education programs who are not exempt, even if they are family members. See policy 257 .

Live-in attendants: Individuals who provide medical, housekeeping, child care or other similar personal services. If a live-in attendant is the customer’s child under age 22 or his/her spouse, the attendant must be included in the household SNAP case.

Non-family members who do not buy food and prepare meals with the household.

Roomers: Roomers are individuals to whom a household furnishes only lodging for compensation, but not meals. However, a roomer who is a family member listed in policy 230-1 must be a household member.
