For SNAP in your state, a household of 1 can only make gross income of $1580 and that person might be eligible.


If you’re making $17 an hour working 24 hrs a week, you are above the threshold at approximately $1632.
Thank you for your response.

Heat & water are included in rent. Belmont does this crazy formula to determine my portion. It's basically 30% of my income.

I know I don't qualify for foodstamps. But I'm struggling so greatly to make ends meet.

I have some minor health issues (including mental), so I can't eat most of the food from the pantries. Also, due to my mental health, I'm afraid to work full time.

On paper, it seems like I make enough to survive. But in reality, I can hardly afford food after I pay my bills. Does that make sense?
