Changes in the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamp Program) regulations established rules that gave states the option to use other policies instead of, or in addition to, the Federal vehicle rules.
As this version of WorkWORLD was being prepared, many states were proposing and establishing new vehicle rules. Some states had announced new rules but later rescinded them, and some had announced effective dates for new regulations after the release date of this version. The summaries of individual State policies below are believed to be correct as of the date this version was released, and are based on a CBPP study last updated in June 2008.
NOTE: Due to the number and magnitude of the recent changes in vehicle policy occurring at the State level, you should contact your state or local Food Stamps program office for the latest information and clarification concerning the policies in effect in your State.

*Explanatory Note 1:
In states denoted by a single asterisk (*), virtually all Food Stamp households are authorized to receive a TANF/MOE-funded benefit that makes them categorically eligible for food stamps. Therefore, virtually all food stamp households are subject to the vehicle asset rule from the TANF/MOE-funded benefit program instead of the Federal Food Stamp rule. That is the policy described in these summaries. In some states, a small number of households may not be authorized to receive the TANF/MOE-funded benefit. Those households would be subject to the Federal rules or the vehicle asset rules of a TANF/MOE-funded assistance program with which the State has aligned Food Stamp rules. If you live in one of these states, you should contact your state or local Food Stamps program office for the latest information and clarification concerning the policies in effect in your State.
**Explanatory Note 2:
In states denoted by two asterisks (**), virtually all food stamp households are authorized to receive a TANF/MOE-funded benefit that makes them categorically eligible for food stamps. However, the TANF program rules also exclude all vehicles, so even those few cases that are not categorically eligible have no vehicle limit due to alignment with TANF.
Much of the information in the summaries above is based on a survey of States (and States' confirmation of the characterization) originally published in 2001 by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities and last updated in June 2008. The survey is periodically updated, and available at:
