@heavenly_finance: SNAP's yearly cost-of-living adjustment took effect on October 1, and the new figures are in a USDA memo to state agencies dated August 21, 2026. For the 48 states and D.C., the most a household can receive in a month is $306 for one person, $562 for two, $808 for three and $1,023 for four. Those are maximums, not what every household gets, because each household's own amount depends on its income and deductions. The standard deduction for households of one to three people is now $217 a month. The asset limit is part of who qualifies. It remains $3,000 for most households and is $4,750 for a household with at least one member who is 60 or older or has a disability. That last number is the one that tends to surprise people. A parent who decided years ago that savings put SNAP out of reach may be sitting under a limit that is higher than they think. Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and the Virgin Islands have their own tables, and Hawaii's maximum for a family of four goes down to $1,655, so the figures above are for the 48 states and D.C. only. The numbers set the ceiling. The state agency that runs SNAP works out an actual amount, so a call to that office is how a household finds out where it lands.
