Guam Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Guam's territorial implementation of SNAP provides monthly EBT food benefits for eligible low-income households. For caregiver households, SNAP can help stabilize food costs while preserving special federal rules for households with elderly or disabled members.

Monthly food benefits issued on a Guam EBT card. FY2026 regular SNAP income limits for Guam use the same 48 states/DC/Guam/Virgin Islands table: gross monthly income limits from $1,696 for one person to $5,867 for eight, and net monthly limits from $1,305 to $4,513. Guam maximum monthly allotments are higher than the 48-state table: $439 for one person, $806 for two, $1,157 for three, $1,465 for four, and $2,637 for eight. Federal SNAP resource limits are $3,000, or $4,500 when the household includes a member age 60 or older or disabled.

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

  • Does the person receiving care live in Guam? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
  • What are the current income and asset limits, and whose income counts?
  • Which citizenship or immigration statuses does the program accept, and which documents show it?
  • Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
  • What documents do you need from us to start an application?
  • Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
