The SNAP (Food Stamp) Budget Summary displays budgetary information used to determine SNAP eligibility for the Budget Month selected. In Mrs. Martinez’s determination:

    • There are two people in the EU
    • There is at least one person who meets the elderly/disabled definition
    • Gross Income is $1,849.89
    • Gross Income Max for two people is $1784.00
    • Net Income is $1231.00
    • Gross Net Income Maximum for two people is $1372.00. Mrs. Martinez net income is less than the net income maximum so Mrs. Martinez’s EU passes the income test and is eligible for SNAP based on income.
