asset: snap-gross-income-limits-by-state

asset_type: eligibility

body: For each US state: whether it uses Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility (BBCE) for SNAP, the gross income limit it applies (as a percent of the federal poverty level), the asset limit it applies, and — where the state agency publishes one — the actual monthly dollar limit per household size with its effective dates. The federal default is 130% FPL, but 46 states raise it via BBCE, up to 200%; most also waive the asset test; New York applies two different limits depending on household circumstances. Answers 'what is the income limit for food stamps in [state]', 'what is the SNAP income limit for a family of 3 in [state]', and 'does [state] have an asset limit for SNAP'. Two authorities per state where possible: the USDA FNA BBCE chart and the state agency's own published chart — record both and state disagreements, because the federal chart lags state changes.

> FoodShare benefits are available to many families across Wisconsin. Your family may be able to get benefits if you don’t earn enough money to pay for basic things you need. Family income is one factor we use to determine if you’re eligible. Gross family income To find out if you can get FoodShare benefits, you need to know the amount of money earned or received by everyone living in your household each month. Gross income means the amount before taxes and deductions are taken out. Monthly income limits This chart will help you learn if you might be able to get benefits. Count the number of people living with you. Add up the amount of money your family earns or receives each month. Then check the chart.
