SNAP takes many factors into account when determining eligibility, including gross income (before taxes), household size, and certain household expenses. Below are the current SNAP eligibility income limits and monthly benefit amounts (please note this limit changes annually):

Student Rules*

Students must be a US Citizen or be a permanent resident.

Students attending less than half-time and those age 50+ do not need to meet additional student criteria (only income – see above).

Students (18-49) attending half-time or more may be eligible for SNAP by meeting income guidelines and additional criteria (see bullets below).

You may meet the additional student criteria if you:

• Work 80 hours/month (20 hours/week);
• Are a parent or caregiver to a child under 12;
• Receive TANF (Colorado Works) benefits;
• Have a disability that makes working while in school challenging;
• Were awarded work study and work in a work-study job

Tip: If you receive a Pell grant, you might be eligible for work-study and eligible for SNAP
