Snap Cards
- The Division of Public Assistance issues SNAP benefits via the Alaska Quest card. The amount a household receives each month depends on the household's countable income and size of the household. Eligible households use SNAP.
- The Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) administers SNAP benefits. SNAP provides a monthly benefit to buy nutritious foods. To get SNAP, you must be low-income and be a U.S. Citizen or legal noncitizen (restrictions apply). Eligibility for SNAP.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, signed by President Donald J. Trump on Dec. 27, 2020, increases Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by raising maximum allotments to 115 percent of the June 2020 value of the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP).
The information on this page is for Jan. 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021.
There are special SNAP rules for households with elderly or disabled members.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your household must meet certain requirements to be eligible for SNAP and receive benefits. If your state agency determines that you are eligible to receive SNAP benefits, you will receive benefits back to the date you submitted your application.
You must apply for SNAP in the state where you currently live. Because each state has a different application form and process, a member of your household must contact your state agency directly to apply.
You can contact your state agency by visiting your local SNAP office, visiting your state agency’s website, or calling your state’s toll-free SNAP Information hotline. Some states have online applications that can be completed from the state agency website.
If you are unable to go to or call your local SNAP office or do not have access to the internet, you may have another person act as an authorized representative by applying and being interviewed on your behalf. You must designate the authorized representative in writing.
Note: Please contact your SNAP state agency directly to apply and to request information about the status of your application. FNS does not process applications or have access to case information.
In most cases, once you submit your application, your state agency or local SNAP office will process it and send you a notice telling you whether or not you are eligible for benefits within 30 days.
During the 30 days, you will need to complete an eligibility interview and give proof (verification) of the information you provided. The interview is typically completed over the telephone or in-person. If you are found eligible, you will receive benefits based on the date you submitted your application.
You may be eligible to receive SNAP benefits within 7 days of your application date if you meet additional requirements. For example, if your household has less than $100 in liquid resources and $150 in monthly gross income, or if your household’s combined monthly gross income and liquid resources are less than what you pay each month for rent or mortgage and utilities expenses. Contact your state agency for additional details.
If you are found eligible, you will receive SNAP benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card. Benefits are automatically loaded into your account each month. You can use your EBT card to buy groceries at authorized food stores and retailers.
- When Are SNAP Benefits Available?
(A benefit issuance schedule can be found for each state.)
If you are found eligible, you will receive a notice that tells you how long you will receive SNAP benefits for; this is called your certification period. Before your certification period ends, you will receive another notice that says you must recertify to continue receiving benefits. Your local SNAP office will provide you with information about how to recertify.
Everyone who lives together and purchases and prepares meals together is grouped together as one SNAP household.
Some people who live together, such as spouses and most children under age 22, are included in the same SNAP household, even if they purchase and prepare meals separately.
If a person is 60 years of age or older and unable to purchase and prepare meals separately because of a permanent disability, the person and the person's spouse may be a separate SNAP household if the others they live with do not have very much income (no more than 165 percent of the poverty level).
Snap Card Balance
Normally you are not eligible for SNAP benefits if an institution gives you most of your meals. There are exceptions for elderly persons and disabled persons.
Currently, households may have $2,250 in countable resources (such as cash or money in a bank account) or $3,500 in countable resources if at least one member of the household is age 60 or older, or is disabled. These amounts are updated annually.
However, certain resources are NOT counted when determining eligibility for SNAP:
- A home and lot;
- Resources of people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI);
- Resources of people who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF; also known as welfare); and
- Most retirement and pension plans (withdrawals from these accounts may count as either income or resources depending on how often they occur).
Vehicles count as a resource for SNAP purposes. States determine how vehicles may count toward household resources.
Licensed vehicles are NOT counted if they are:
- Used for income-producing purposes (e.g., taxi, truck or delivery vehicle);
- Annually producing income consistent with their fair market value;
- Needed for long distance travel for work (other than daily commute);
- Used as the home;
- Needed to transport a physically disabled household member;
- Needed to carry most of the household's fuel or water; or
- If the sale of the vehicle would result in less than $1,500.
For non-excluded licensed vehicles, the fair market value over $4,650 counts as a resource.
Licensed vehicles are also subject to an equity test, which is the fair market value less any amount owed on the vehicle. The following vehicles are excluded from the equity test:
- One vehicle per adult household member; and
- Any other vehicle used by a household member under 18 to drive to work, school, job training, or to look for work.
For vehicles with both a fair market value over $4,650 and an equity value, the greater of the two amounts is counted as a resource.
Additionally, the equity value of unlicensed vehicles generally counts as a resource, with some exceptions.
In most cases, your household must meet both the gross and net income limits described below or you are not eligible for SNAP and cannot receive benefits.
Gross income means a household's total, non-excluded income, before any deductions have been made.
Net income means gross income minus allowable deductions.
A household with an elderly or disabled person only has to meet the net income limit, as described on the elderly and disabled page.
If all members of your household are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or in some places other general assistance, your household may be deemed “categorically eligible” for SNAP because you have already been determined eligible for another means-tested program.
The information provided in the table below applies to households in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia that apply for SNAP between Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021.
Table 1: SNAP Income Eligibility Limits - Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021
| Household Size | Gross monthly income (130 percent of poverty) | Net monthly income (100 percent of poverty) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,383 | $1,064 |
| 2 | $1,868 | $1,437 |
| 3 | $2,353 | $1,810 |
| 4 | $2,839 | $2,184 |
| 5 | $3,324 | $2,557 |
| 6 | $3,809 | $2,930 |
| 7 | $4,295 | $3,304 |
| 8 | $4,780 | $3,677 |
| Each additional member | +$486 | +$374 |
The following deductions are allowed for SNAP:
- A 20-percent deduction from earned income.
- A standard deduction of $167 for household sizes of 1 to 3 people and $181 for a household size of 4 (higher for some larger households and for households in Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam).
- A dependent care deduction when needed for work, training, or education.
- Medical expenses for elderly or disabled members that are more than $35 for the month if they are not paid by insurance or someone else. This is described on the elderly and disabled page.
- In some states, legally owed child support payments.
- In some states, a standard shelter deduction for homeless households of $156.74.
- Excess shelter costs as described below.
The shelter deduction is for shelter costs that are more than half of the household's income after other deductions.
Allowable shelter costs include:
- Fuel to heat and cook with.
- Electricity.
- Water.
- The basic fee for one telephone.
- Rent or mortgage payments and interest.
- Taxes on the home.
Some states allow a set amount for utility costs instead of actual costs.
The amount of the shelter deduction is capped at (or limited to) $586 unless one person in the household is elderly or disabled. The limit is higher in Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam. For a household with an elderly or disabled member all shelter costs over half of the household's income may be deducted.
Table 2: How to Calculate SNAP Gross Income
| Gross Income Calculation | Example |
|---|---|
| Determine household size . . . | 4 people with no elderly or disabled members. |
| Add gross monthly income . . . | $1,500 earned income + $550 social security = $2,050 gross income. |
| If gross monthly income is less than the limit for household size, determine net income. | $2,050 is less than the $2,839 allowed for a 4-person household, so determine net income. |
| Net Income Calculation | Example for a 4-person household |
|---|---|
| Subtract 20% earned income deduction... | $2,050 gross income $1,500 earned income x 20% = $300. $2,050 - $300 = $1,750 |
| Subtract standard deduction... | $1,750 - $181 standard deduction for a 4-person household = $1,569 |
| Subtract dependent care deduction... | $1,569 - $362 dependent care = $1,207 |
| Subtract child support deduction... | $0 |
| Subtract medical costs over $35 for elderly and disabled... | $0 |
| Excess shelter deduction... | See below |
| Determine half of adjusted income... | $1,207 adjusted income/2 = $603.5 |
| Determine if shelter costs are more than half of adjusted income... | $700 total shelter - $603.5 (half of income) = $96.5 excess shelter cost |
| Subtract excess amount, but not more than the limit, from adjusted income... | $1,207 - $96.5 = $1,110.5 net monthly income |
| Apply the net income test... | Since $1,110.5 is less than $2,184 allowed for a 4-person household, this household has met the income test. |
The total amount of SNAP benefits your household gets each month is called an allotment.
Because SNAP households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their own resources on food, your allotment is calculated by multiplying your household’s net monthly income by 0.3, and subtracting the result from the maximum monthly allotment for your household size.
Table 4: SNAP Maximum Monthly Allotment Based on Household Size
| People in Household | Maximum Monthly Allotment |
|---|---|
| 1 | $234 |
| 2 | $430 |
| 3 | $616 |
| 4 | $782 |
| 5 | $929 |
| 6 | $1,114 |
| 7 | $1,232 |
| 8 | $1,408 |
| Each additional person | +$176 |
Table 5: Example of SNAP Benefit Calculation
| Benefit Calculation | Example |
|---|---|
| Multiply net income by 30%... (Round up) | $1,110.5 net monthly income x 0.3 = 333.15 (round up to $334) |
| Subtract 30% of net income from the maximum allotment for the household size... | $782 maximum allotment for 4-person household - $334 (30% of net income) = $448, SNAP Allotment for a full month |
In general, people must meet work requirements to be eligible for SNAP. These work requirements include:
- Registering for work;
- Not voluntarily quitting a job or reducing hours;
- Taking a job if offered; and
- Participating in employment and training programs, if assigned by the state.
Failure to comply with these requirements can result in disqualification from the program.
In addition, able bodied adults without dependents are required to work or participate in a work program for at least 20 hours per week in order to receive SNAP benefits for more than 3 months in a 36-month period.
Some special groups may not be subject to these requirements including:
- Children;
- Seniors;
- Pregnant women; and
- People who are exempt for physical or mental health reasons.
Generally, students ages 18 through 49 who are enrolled in college at least half time are not eligible for SNAP unless they meet certain specific exemptions.
SNAP eligibility has never been extended to undocumented non-citizens. Specific requirements for non-citizens who may be eligible have changed substantially over the years and become more complicated in certain areas. The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 limits eligibility for SNAP benefits to U.S. citizens and certain lawfully present non-citizens.
Generally, to qualify for SNAP, non-citizens must meet one of the following criteria:
- Have lived in the United States for at least 5 years.
- Be receiving disability-related assistance or benefits.
- Be children under 18.
Additionally, these individuals must also satisfy other SNAP eligibility requirements such as income and resource limits in order to qualify for benefits.
If certain members of a household are ineligible for SNAP, state agencies must still determine eligibility for SNAP for any remaining household members who are seeking assistance.
For additional information see: SNAP Policy on Non-Citizen Eligibility and SNAP Guidance on Non-Citizen Eligibility.
If you disagree with a decision in your case, you may request a fair hearing with an official who is required by law to review the facts of your case in a fair and objective manner.
You must request a fair hearing within 90 days of the day your local SNAP office made the decision in your case that you disagree with.
You can request a fair hearing over the phone, in writing, or in person at the local SNAP office.
Although a fair hearing cannot change the laws or regulations governing SNAP, it can ensure that decisions on your case have been made correctly.
SNAP benefits are available to all eligible households regardless of race, sex, religious creed, national origin, or political beliefs.
The USDA prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or marital and family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD).
To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of credible, Room 326- W, Whitten Building, 14th and Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (202) 720-5964 (voice and TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Overview
NEW! January 18, 2021--Food benefits to increase 15% Wednesday for all 213,590 Connecticut households enrolled in SNAP; 110,000 enrolled households will receive monthly COVID-19 emergency benefit increase Saturday
The Connecticut Department of Social Services today announced that it will provide a total of $25.5 million in additional federal food benefits to state residents in two allocations this week through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
- First, all 213,590 households enrolled in SNAP will receive an average benefit increase of $45.91 on Wednesday, January 20 – the first of monthly 15% increases through June. This additional food aid totals an estimated $8.5 million per month, and results from the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.
- Second, 110,000 SNAP-enrolled households will receive an average benefit increase of $154.90 on Saturday, January 23 – the tenth monthly emergency allocation authorized by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020. This additional food aid totals $17 million for January.
Information about the 15% increase in SNAP benefits:
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 increases the maximum and minimum allotments SNAP households are eligible to receive by 15% for the months of January through June 2021. In essence, this means that 365,500 individuals in the 213,590 households currently receiving SNAP assistance should see an increase on their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card on Wednesday, January 20. The 15% increase will then be added to the household’s normal SNAP benefits for the months of February through June.
As two examples of how this 15% benefit increase works, a single adult previously receiving the maximum benefit amount of $204 will receive an additional $30, for a new maximum benefit amount of $234; and a family of four previously receiving the maximum benefit amount of $680 will receive an additional $102, for a new maximum benefit amount of $782. If a household was granted benefits on or after January 9, 2021, it already has received the 15% increase as part of its regular SNAP benefits.
Information about the January Emergency SNAP benefit allocation:
Emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) benefits totaling $17 million will be provided to more than half of Connecticut SNAP-eligible households on Saturday, January 23 – adding to the $176.2 million in emergency benefits disbursed in April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
Authorized by the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, the extra food benefits will go to approximately 110,000 households not currently receiving the maximum benefits allowed for their household size. This means that all households enrolled in SNAP will receive the maximum food benefit allowable for their household size, even if they are not usually eligible for the maximum benefit.
With this newest monthly allocation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, emergency benefits are total $193.2 million in additional SNAP assistance statewide during April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December and January, with commensurate spending in the food economy.
The average emergency benefit amount a household will see on its electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card on January 23 is $154.90. If a household is granted regular SNAP benefits on or after January 22, 2021, and is also eligible for the emergency supplemental benefits, the latter benefits will be added to the EBT card on a Friday, depending on the date of granting.
Counting the new 15% benefit increase for all enrolled households, emergency benefits allow the household’s SNAP benefit to increase to the maximum, as noted in the following chart:
| Household Size | Maximum Benefit Amount |
| 1 | $234 |
| 2 | $430 |
| 3 | $616 |
| 4 | $782 |
| 5 | $929 |
| 6 | $1,114 |
| 7 | $1,232 |
| 8 | $1,408 |
Each additional person: add $176
For example, if a household of two normally received $200 of SNAP benefits in January, it will receive a 15% increase of $30 on January 20 and an additional $200 emergency benefit on January 23, to bring this household up to the maximum benefit for its size of $430.

UPDATED November 17, 2020--Special measures to assist SNAP enrollees during the Covid-19 public health emergency
- No Periodic Review Forms--we are suspending the requirement to submit Periodic Review Forms (PRFs) for all SNAP enrollees from December 2020 through June 2021. This means that you will not be receiving PRFs in the mail to fill out during this time period.
- Automatic renewals for six months—we are automatically extending eligibility for SNAP enrollees whose normal annual certification is scheduled to end in November or December 2020. In other words, you will not have to go through a renewal process, and your eligibility will be extended six months (to May or June 2021). Please note: SNAP enrollees whose eligibility was previously extended will still need to go through the renewal process. We will send you a notice when you need to take any action to keep your SNAP eligibility.
Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP)
Overview
The Department of Social Services is pleased to announce a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) demonstration project for older adults and those with disabilities. Once enrolled in SNAP, eligible households qualifying for the Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) will experience additional flexibilities to support continued enrollment.
Flexibilitiesin ESAP include:
- An expanded three-year SNAP certification period of eligibility;
- No periodic report formwill be due halfway through the certification cycle, as is usually the case for SNAP enrollees;

- All adult (18 years or older) household members must be determined elderly (60years or older) or with a disability, per SNAP regulations and
- No household members can be employed (i.e., receive countable earned income).
Revised Reporting Requirements:
Please note that ESAP-eligible SNAP households need to report information to DSS before their renewal is due if they experience a household change that would disqualify them from ESAP(for example, if the household no longer includes an older adult or adult with disability, or if they start working). All SNAP households must report if they receive lotto/gambling winnings equal to or in excess of $3,500.
SNAP Definition of a Disability:
An individual who meets one or more of the following:
- Receives disability or blindness benefits from any of these programs: Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, or SSI-related Medicaid.

ESAP is designed to increase the efficiency of SNAP and reduce food insecurity among a population whose household circumstances generally stay the same and can have additional barriers associated with age or disability, such as transportation or mobility. The Connecticut Department of Social Services was approved for this demonstration project by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, the agency that administers and funds SNAP nationwide. We look forward to serving you! [updated 10-30-20]
