*Maximum gross monthly income is not used for computing the SNAP benefit. It is included in this table as a reference for determining eligibility for a household not containing an elderly or disabled member. Also, it is not applicable for categorically eligible households.

The maximum net monthly income limitations per household size represent maximum net monthly income for all SNAP households except those that are categorically eligible.

The 165% poverty level income table is used in determining separate household status for a person who is 60 years old or older and living with others and the spouse of this person who is unable to purchase and prepare meals because he or she suffers from a disability considered permanent under the Social Security Act or suffers from a non-disease-related, severe, permanent disability.
