? For a household of 1 is $192/month

some earnings or other income.

and sometimes particular assets (many states no
longer count assets at all), as well as expenses such
as housing and child care costs.

? SNAP can be used to buy groceries at over 246,000
authorized retailers ¨C grocery stores, but also other
places that sell food, including discount stores, bodegas
and farmers markets.
? SNAP generally cannot be used to buy prepared foods,
such as fast food or takeout pizza.*
? SNAP cannot be use to pay for college cafeteria meal
plans.
? Students who live in dorms and receive more than half their
meals from a meal plan are not eligible for benefits.
*If a state has a Restaurant Meal Program (RMP), then students who are elderly, disabled or
homeless can purchase prepared food at approved locations.

? It depends¡
? SNAP eligibility is based on monthly income, so
Congress was concerned that college students from
middle class families could qualify even though they
don¡¯t need help.
? Therefore, most college students (attending at least
half time) are excluded from receiving SNAP, but there
are a set of exceptions that apply to many nontraditional and low-income students. These are
explained on the following slides.
? Students who qualify for the exceptions are subject to
the regular income and asset limits for SNAP eligibility.
