How does DTA determine eligibility?
SNAP eligibility takes into consideration a person’s income, expenses, and other non-financial things such as age, student status, and immigration status.Â There is not one single guideline that determines a person’s eligibility for SNAP.Â

How the FoodSource Hotline Helps
Every counselor has in depth knowledge of SNAP regulations and have the most accurate and up to date information on recent changes.Â Counselors will also take the time to examine your specific situation and help you find all the deductions that could increase your benefit amount.
