You can check to see if you might be eligible for SNAP via the New York State online pre-screening tool
If your income, based on your household size, is less than or equal to the amounts in the charts below, you may be eligible for SNAP benefits.
If your household's gross income is below these amounts, it does not ensure that you will be eligible for SNAP. A SNAP budget must be calculated for your household in order to determine eligibility and benefit amount.
The only way to determine if your household is eligible for SNAP benefits is to apply.
