Food Stamps Eligibility and Benefits for Families with No Children and Individuals

Note

If you are disabled or older than 60, you do not have a gross income limit for Food Stamps. DTA subtracts all of your deductions (shelter costs, medical costs, etc.) from your income to get the amount they use to calculate whether you can get Food Stamps.  If you are disabled or you are a senior, you might be able to get Food Stamps even if your gross income is higher than the amount in the chart below.
