SNAP benefits are based on your household’s income and certain living expenses. If eligible, reporting these costs may cause your SNAP benefits to go up. The amount you get in SNAP will depend on how much costs you have. Eligibility to have these costs counted may vary. Read about each type below.
SNAP benefits will not change if you already get the maximum SNAP amount. Find your normal SNAP benefit amount on DTA Connect or by listening to your case information on the DTA Assistance Line at 877-382-2363.
