Frequently Asked Questions

Do I qualify for Medicaid or SNAP in 2025 if I have a job?

Yes, many individuals and families who are employed still qualify. For 2025, eligibility for programs like Medicaid and SNAP is based on your household's gross monthly income, not just employment status. Use our calculators to check if your 2025 income falls within your state's limits.

How often do the 2025 SNAP & Medicaid limits change?

Income limits and benefit amounts are typically updated annually. For example, the 2025 SNAP benefit amounts are adjusted on October 1st, 2024, to reflect cost-of-living changes. Medicaid limits may also change, often at the start of the calendar year. We track these updates closely.

Is the information on this website official?

No, this website is an informational resource and is not an official government agency. We provide guides and calculators to help you understand your potential eligibility. For official applications and final decisions, you must use your state's government portal.

Can I apply for both Medicaid and SNAP at the same time?

In many states, yes. You can often use a single application through your state's integrated benefits portal to apply for both Medicaid and SNAP simultaneously, as well as other assistance programs like TANF. This simplifies the process significantly.

What if my income changes after I am approved for Medicaid or SNAP?

You are required to report significant changes in your household income or size to the state agency managing your Medicaid or SNAP benefits. A change in income could affect your eligibility or your benefit amount. Reporting these changes promptly helps ensure you receive the correct benefits.
