CalFresh (SNAP) in California: 2026 income limits
SNAP income limits in California
Check each table's effective dates and the applicant category. Income alone does not determine eligibility, and federal reference figures may differ from the rules your state applies.
Use the state's current SNAP income table for dollar limits and effective dates. A general poverty-guideline calculation does not establish the program's current monthly limit.
The cited policy lists a gross-income screening threshold of 200% of the federal poverty level. Household rules, deductions and other eligibility conditions still apply.
