SNAP by State is an independent educational website. We build free, fast calculators and plain-language reference pages about SNAP (food stamps) eligibility, benefit amounts and income limits by state, and Medicaid income limits.
What we do
- Estimators built from the published rules. Our SNAP calculator applies the federal rules in 7 CFR Part 273 with USDA’s annual cost-of-living figures (maximum allotments, income limits, deductions) and each state’s own utility allowances and gross income limit. Every result lists the lines behind it.
- Tested against official examples. The calculation code is tested to reproduce worked examples published by USDA and state agencies.
- Not a government website. We are independent and cannot take applications or decide eligibility. Every state page links to the official application portal. See our disclaimer.
- No selling. We do not sell products, we do not link to sellers, and we do not accept payment for reviews or placements.
Who we are
SNAP by State is run by a small independent editorial team based in Türkiye. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, any state agency, food bank, benefits app, lender or law firm.
