SNAP eligibility is based on household size and income. Most households must have a gross monthly income at or below 130% of the federal poverty level. U.S. citizens and certain non-citizens who meet income and resource requirements may qualify.

Most applications are processed within 30 days of receipt. If your household is in urgent need, you may qualify for expedited SNAP benefits within 7 days. Call our office or apply online to check your status.

Yes. You can apply for SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, and child care assistance using a single application through Your Texas Benefits. A caseworker will review your eligibility for all programs you apply for.

You will typically need proof of identity (e.g., driver's license or state ID), Social Security numbers for all household members, proof of income (pay stubs, employer letter), proof of residency (utility bill, lease), and information about any assets or resources.

You'll receive a renewal notice before your benefits expire. You can renew online at YourTexasBenefits.com, by phone, or by visiting your local TDFS office. Make sure your contact information is up to date so you don't miss renewal reminders.
