Most
households must pass a gross income limit at 200% of the Federal
Poverty Level (FPL). Households with a member disqualified for
breaking Food Assistance Program rules, felony drug trafficking,
running away from a felony warrant, or not participating in a
work program must meet a gross income test at 130% of the FPL.
Households with or without a disqualified member must have net
income less than 100% of the FPL. Households with people who
are, age 60 or older or disabled must only meet the net monthly

total monthly income in the food assistance budget. The budget
may subtract for shelter expenses, dependent care, medical,
child support paid, standard deductions, and earnings.
