Use the SNAP Screening Tool

The United States Department of Agriculture provides a free screening tool to help determine SNAP benefit eligibility. The tool is designed to allow you to punch in your assets and income. It then calculates the information to give you an eligibility determination.

Before getting started with the tool, you will want to gather your household information. This information may vary from state to state, but generally includes the following:

☑️ Number of people living in your household.

☑️ Household financial information. This includes mortgage and bill payments (Rent, Utilities, etc).

☑️ Income details. Cash on hand or in a bank account and income payments (Work, SSI, VA, Unemployment, etc).

☑️ Child care costs. Daycare expenses and child support payments.

☑️ Government benefits you are receiving or have received.

☑️ Medical information for yourself and those residing in your household.
