Assistance Payments - SNAP (Food Stamps)

In the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamp Program), any assistance payment from Federal or Federally-aided public assistance programs, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), General Assistance for Children, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or other assistance program based on need is considered unearned income.

Even if the assistance payment is provided in the form of a vendor payment (i.e., provided to a third party on behalf of the household), it is considered as countable unearned income unless it is specifically exempt.

Additionally, assistance payments from programs that require the actual performance of work without compensation as a condition of eligibility for the assistance payment, such as TANF, are considered unearned income.
