Equipment - SNAP (Food Stamps)

In the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamp Program), exclude equipment customarily found in the home and intended for its maintenance, use, or occupancy such as televisions, audio equipment, exercise equipment, and other household equipment.

Equipment that is used for education, training, or employment is not counted as an asset.

If someone in your household is a self-employed farmer, then you may exclude any equipment that is essential to the self-employment of the household member who is a farmer. If the household member ceases to be self-employed as a farmer, you may continue to exclude this essential equipment for one year.

In addition to excluding equipment for self-employed farmers, Florida residents may also exclude any equipment that is essential to the self-employment of a household member who is a commercial fisherman. If the household member ceases to be self-employed as a commercial fisherman, the essential equipment can continue to be excluded for one year.

Assets that are owned jointly by separate households are considered available in their entirety to each household unless the household demonstrates that the assets are inaccessible. If the household can demonstrate that it has access to only a portion of the equipment, the value of that portion of the equipment is counted toward the household's resource level. The equipment is considered totally inaccessible to the household if the equipment cannot practically be subdivided and the household's access to the value of the equipment is dependent on the agreement of a joint owner who refuses to comply.
