SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)¶
Federal food assistance for low-income households. Provides monthly benefits on an EBT card to purchase groceries.
Monthly EBT benefits. Amount depends on household size, income, and deductions. Max monthly benefit for HH of 4: $994 (FY2026, 48 states + DC). Min benefit: $24. OBBBA changes (P.L. 119-21, effective July 4, 2025, implemented by states by November 2025): ABAWD work requirements now apply to ages 18–64 (expanded from 18–54). The caregiver exemption from ABAWD is narrowed — only adults responsible for a dependent child UNDER 14 in the household are exempt. Caregivers of teens (14–17) and caregivers of adult or elderly family members are no longer automatically exempt (unless the person cared for is incapacitated, which triggers the separate general-work-requirement exemption).
