Dependents - SNAP (Food Stamps)

In the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamp Program), a dependent may be either a child or an incapacitated/disabled adult. If someone in your household is a dependent, then the household may be eligible for the Dependent Care Deduction. This deduction has the effect of lowering your net income, so it may help you meet the Net Income Test and/or increase your actual SNAP allotment.

The amount of the deduction depends on the age of the dependent and certain other circumstances. Generally, out-of-pocket expenses for dependent care related to employment of a household member are deductible, up to a fixed maximum amount per dependent based on dependent age. A slightly higher deductible amount is allowed for children under age two than for people age two and older.
