How much will I get if I'm approved for SNAP benefits?

The amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits that you will get depends on the number of people in your SNAP unit, your income and assets , and your expenses.

You can get a general idea of what your SNAP level might be by completing the SNAP calculator. Please note this is simply a tool for you to use to figure out what SNAP benefit amount, if any, that you might qualify for. It is not an application for SNAP benefits.
