Issues monthly benefits redeemable at authorized retail food stores. Eligibility and benefit levels are based on household size, income, assets, and other factors. To help with the transition to self-sufficiency, SNAP may be continued for families leaving Temporary Assistance to move into the workplace. The SNAP income eligibility limits enable families earning up to 130% of the poverty level to qualify for the program and there is no time limit for receipt of benefits for families with children. For eligible households, SNAP benefits begin the day the application is filed with the department.
