What is the Income Limit for Arizona Food Stamps?

In order to be approved for SNAP benefits in Arizona, you have to meet the income limits: gross income and net income.

Gross income is your total income, before taxes or any deductions.

Net income is determined by subtracting certain allowable deductions from the gross income.

Below is the Arizona food stamps income limit table.

Household Size Gross monthly income
(130 percent of poverty)		 Net monthly income
(100 percent of poverty; test for SNAP households with elderly and disabled members)
1 $1,383 $1,064
2 $1,868 $1,437
3 $2,353 $1,810
4 $2,839 $2,184

7 $4,295 $3,304
8 $4,780 $3,677
Each additional member (+486) (+374)

Households with members who are elderly or disabled, as well as households that pass the gross income test, must also pass a net test to qualify.

Elderly households are those which contain members age 60 or older.

Disabled members are those who receive disability payments, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), veteran’s disability, or Medicaid as a blind or disabled individual.
