Income Limits for SNAP


To be eligible for SNAP, your family's income has to be below certain amounts. These differ based on the size of your family.

For a family of six, the maximum yearly income is $62,940. Here's the breakdown:
 
  • 1 person: $22,596
  • 2 people: $30,660
  • 3 people: $38,736
  • 4 people: $46,800
  • 5 people: $54,876
  • 6 people: $62,940


For families larger than eight, you add $8,076 for each extra person. If your income fits these guidelines, you might qualify for SNAP, although it's not guaranteed.
