Florida Food Stamps Eligibility for 2022-2023

Florida Food Stamps Program

Food Assistance benefits are intended to supplement other household income and may only be used to purchase food.  If you meet the program eligibility guidelines, you will get a special debit card (called an EBT Card). The EBT card is loaded monthly with the money you qualify for. You can then use the card to purchase food at grocery and other approved locations. The amount of money a household gets may depend on three things:

  • household income from all sources (earned and unearned) such as money you get from a job, Social Security, SSI, or interest
  • how many people live in your household
  • where you live

If you want to apply for Florida Food Stamps, you have to make sure you qualify and are eligible. There are strict eligibility requirements that you must follow to apply for Food Assistance. In this article, we will discuss the guidelines for qualifying for assistance.

Florida Food Stamps Eligibility Guidelines (2023)

To be eligible for the Florida Food Stamp Program, you have to meet the eligibility requirements established by the USDA.

In order to apply for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) you must first meet a certain criteria.

Do I qualify for Florida Food Stamps?

To qualify for the Florida Food Assistance Program, you must:

  • Be a U.S. Citizen or Legal Non-Citizen
  • Live in the state of Florida
  • Meet the SNAP Income Limit

In addition to the eligibility requirements listed above, your household must also meet the three income and resources tests.

Income is the most important requirement when it comes to qualifying for Florida food stamps.

The three tests include your household’s gross monthly income, net income, and assets.

Gross Monthly Income — is your household’s total income before any deductions. This includes money earned from work and other assistance such as unemployment, Social Security and child support.

Net Income — is your household’s total income after all allowable deductions.

Assets — is your household’s total resources that are considered available to purchase food, such as bank accounts and cash.

To learn more about each of the three SNAP eligibility tests including how to calculate them for your household, continue reading below.

Florida Food Stamps Requirements for 2023

To help determine if you are eligible for Food Stamps in Florida, we breakdown each of the three SNAP eligibility tests for you below.

Test 1 – Gross Income Test

The first test you must meet is the gross monthly income test. This is a household’s income before any allowable deductions are applied.

The USDA requires that a household’s income must be at or below 130 percent of the poverty line.

In fiscal year 2023, the poverty line amount for a family of three is ,920. Therefore, 130 percent of that level is ,495 for a three-person household.

A family of three must, therefore, have a gross yearly income of about ,940 a year or below to qualify for food stamps.

The poverty level is higher for bigger families and lower for smaller families.

How to Calculate Gross Income

Use the example provided below to help you calculate your household’s gross monthly income.

How to Calculate Gross Income for Food Stamps
Gross Income Calculation: Example:
Determine household size . . . 4 people with no elderly or disabled members.
Add gross monthly income . . .
,700 earned income + 0 social security = ,350 gross income.
If gross monthly income is less than the limit for household size, determine net income.
,350 is less than the ,007 allowed for a 4-person household, so determine net income.

FL SNAP Gross Income Limit for 2023

Once you have calculated your household’s gross income, use the chart below to determine if it meets the income limit for Florida food stamp benefits.

Florida SNAP Income Eligibility Standards for Fiscal Year 2023
Effective October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023
Household Size
Monthly Gross Income (130% of Federal Poverty Level)
1 ,473
2 ,984
3 ,495
4 ,007
5 ,518
6 ,029
7 ,541
8 ,052
Each Additional Household Member: +2

Test 2 – Net Income Test

The Net Income, or household income after deductions are applied, must be at or below the poverty line for your household size.

To find out how to calculate your net income with the allowable deductions, continue reading below.

Food Stamps Allowable Deductions

Certain deductions are allowable to be taken from the gross income to arrive at the net income amount.

The following deductions are allowed for all households depending on the living situation and expenses:

  • 20% deduction from earned income.
  • Standard deduction of 3 for households with 1 to 4 people and 8 for households with 6 or more people. See the standard deduction for 2022-2023 in the chart below.
  • Dependent care deduction when needed for work, training, or education.
  • A deduction for elderly or disabled members medical expenses that exceed a month (if not paid by insurance or someone else).
  • Deduct any legally owed child support payments.
  • Homeless Household’s shelter costs deduction of 6.81.
  • A deduction for excess shelter costs that exceed more than half of the household’s income (after the other deductions listed above). This deduction cannot exceed 4 unless one of your household members is elderly or disabled. Allowable excess shelter costs include:
    • Mortgage or rent payments
    • Property taxes
    • Household utilities including electricity, water, fuel for heat, and a basic phone line
  • Once you have subtracted all eligible deductions from your household gross income, this will give you your monthly net income.

SNAP Standard Deduction for 2023

The food stamps standard deduction varies based on your household size and location. Please use the chart provided below to find the standard deduction amount for your household.

SNAP Standard Deductions for Fiscal Year 2023 in Florida
Effective October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023
Household Size Standard Deduction

3 3
4 3
5 5
6+ 8

[the_ad id=”357″]

How to Calculate Net Income

Use the example provided below to help you calculate your household’s net monthly income based on 4-person household with a ,050 gross income.

How to Calculate SNAP Net Income
Net Income Calculation: Example for a 4-person household:
Subtract 20% earned income deduction…
,050 gross income
,500 earned income x 20% = 0. ,050 – 0 = ,750
Subtract standard deduction…
,750 – 3 standard deduction for a 4-person household = ,557
Subtract dependent care deduction… ,557 – 2 dependent care = ,195
Subtract child support deduction…

0 total shelter – $597.50 (half of income) = 2.50 excess shelter cost

What Counts As Income?

For your SNAP application, cash from all sources will count towards your income limit including:

  • Earned income (before payroll taxes are deducted)
  • Unearned income, such as cash assistance, Social Security, unemployment insurance, and child support are all counted towards your income for food stamps purposes.

For more information on the Florida Food Stamps income requirements, check out out complete article on the SNAP Income Limits for 2023.

Test 3 – Assets Test 

The final test to determine if you’re eligible for food stamp benefits is the assets test. This test determines if your total household assets fall below the acceptable limit.

Households with a member who is elderly (age 60 or older) or disabled, must have assets or countable resources of ,250 or less.

Households without an elderly or disabled member, must have assets of ,750 or less.

What counts as an Asset?

For your application, resources that could be available to the household to purchase food are counted towards your asset limit.

This includes:

  • Bank accounts
  • Stocks
  • Bonds
  • Real estate other than your home
  • Income you earn from assets (like interest earned on savings and dividends you receive).

What doesn’t count as an asset?

Certain items do not count as an asset. These are typically resources that are not accessible, such as the household’s home, personal property, and retirement savings.

Please note that withdrawals from these accounts may count as either income or resources depending on how often they occur.

Additionally, most automobiles do not count as an asset. However, there are special rules around vehicles. To learn more about this, continue reading below.

[the_ad id=”478″]

Do vehicles count towards as an asset for Food Stamps?

While most vehicles do not count towards the food stamps resources limit, this varies based on the state you live in.

In Florida, the state is responsible for determining how vehicles count towards the household resource limit.

Licensed vehicles are NOT counted if they are:

  • Used for income-producing purposes (e.g., taxi, truck or delivery vehicle)
  • Annually producing income consistent with their fair market value
  • Needed for long distance travel for work (other than daily commute)
  • Used as the home
  • Needed to transport a physically disabled household member
  • Needed to carry most of the household’s fuel or water
  • If the sale of the vehicle would result in less than ,500.

For non-excluded licensed vehicles with a fair market value over ,650, they will count as a resource.

In addition, licensed vehicles are also subject to an equity test, which is the fair market value less any amount owed on the vehicle.

The following vehicles are excluded from the equity test:

  • One vehicle per adult household member.
  • Any other vehicle used by a household member under 18 to drive to work, school, job training, or to look for work.
  • For vehicles with both a fair market value over ,650 and an equity value, the greater of the two amounts is counted as a resource.

Additionally, the equity value of unlicensed vehicles generally counts as a resource, with some exceptions.

Who is not eligible for Food Stamps in Florida?

Some Florida households may not be eligible for SNAP benefits regardless of their income or assets. These people include:

  • All unauthorized immigrants
  • Students attending college more than half time
  • Lawfully present immigrants
  • Individuals who are on strike

Unemployed adults without children in the home who do not have disabilities are limited to three months of SNAP benefits every three years in many areas of the country, and states have broad authority to extend work requirements to many other SNAP households.

For more information on this, please refer to the Food Stamps Work Requirements listed below.

    I live in florida and i see gas stations that will let people use there food stamps to buy beer etc by them ringing it up as food, and see people sell there food stamps to get cash. It is sad when people that really may need it to help and they get denied why i see others doing nothing because they know they can and lie and receive benefits its disgusting and heart wrenching. Everyone has different lives and not saying all people on welfare do this but the area of florida i live and people i have seen do this odds of judgement of people on food stamps that abuse them are high compared to ones that would use them for the intended purpose or need them to get by for a short time.

      I’ve seen the same thing! It’s very sad! I am looking up now how to apply for health care help and support of any kind. I’ve never had to ask for help before, but now it’s crucial… I’m scared of some medical issues I may have and I can barely afford food in my home, let alone insurance and I’m told it’s hard to get the help through the state. I’m not one to abuse the system and now I’m worried if I don’t get the help. Yet others who have cash in them, doing all the wrong things are able too. I worked at a gas station years ago and I quit for that exact reason. My boss told me to let customers get whatever they want and for me to ring it up as food items. It is disgusting and very disturbing. What does someone like me do when I honestly need the help and may or may not get approved. Some people have told me that I have to say certain things to get approved. I honestly don’t understand why I can’t just be honest and get help. It’s really a sad thing. I never wanted or needed the states help before, but things have changed and now I do. So it just disgusts me to see these people buying alcohol, cigarettes and what not with these cards… And while pulling out the card, I always see wads of cash on them. I just don’t understand and don’t believe it’s fair at all to those who really need the help!

      If you see something line this you should report the store. Not fair to the people that play by the rules tho Have others abusing the program …CALL THE HOTLINE AND REPORT THE STORE

    I received a letter that my monthly benefit is decreased. I don’t understand the reduction of my benefit. They said something about
    S414.3 but I cannot find out what that means. I am dependant on the subsidy due to unemployment. I cannot secure a full time job and have to do odd jobs for people when I can find them. I am hoping you can give me some insight into the problem.

    Unfortunately, you will see actions such as, getting money for food stamps, or using them in stores to buy gas or beer or other things in EVERY state. It does not just happen in Florida. People find a way around the system, because there are BUSINESS owners that are ALLOWING them to find that way around the system. Also, there are people that are making out like bandits from people with food stamps too…I know of people that will buy food stamps from some of their friends for 50 cents on the dollar, so they profit 50 cents per dollar with each transaction….so they get 40 dollars in food stamps but, are only giving that person 20 dollars in cash. People are greedy, and it’s because of people like that, that our society, and our government are crashing when it comes to these types of programs. Unfortunately, it’s the people that really, truly do need these programs to survive that are suffering in the end.

    Instead of complaining about seeing these businesses do these things, or knowing people that do these things, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Make an anonymous call…No one wants to be a tattle, but, when it comes to the future of our country, and our well being…the future of our CHILDREN and THEIR CHILDREN….I don’t consider it tattling, I consider it honorable.

    Stop Complaining, start Doing.

    AND, just for the record, I think that they SHOULD drug test anyone that is applying for assistance. If you can afford drugs, you can afford food.
