See the posted SNAP ceiling, not a check in your name
Posted ceiling
A maximum allotment is a posted ceiling, not a check with your name on it.

This is not a benefit determination. It does not ask for income, and it does not say you qualify. Figures are the published maximum allotments for the 48 states and D.C. only, October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

How this is calculated
It is not calculated. Household sizes 1 through 8 map to the published maximums in the USDA table: $306, $562, $808, $1,023, $1,217, $1,463, $1,616, and $1,841. The $25 minimum is shown only as the memo’s minimum for household sizes 1–2.

Assumptions
- You want the 48 states and D.C. table, not Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- A household size here is the size you chose, not a finding about who lives with you.
- The example is labeled. It is not your case.
What happens to this choice
The size you choose is used only to show the matching published figure on this page. It is not saved and not sent. Refreshing clears a choice you typed over the example. The Ceiling folder offer does not save the lookup.
Limits
This is not an eligibility decision and not a payment estimate. Other areas and larger households are in the memo and are not looked up here. If you need a determination, contact your state SNAP agency.
