Captures household size, monthly income, state of residence, and citizenship status. Returns programs you likely qualify for + the application link for each. Not a final eligibility decision — that lives with the state agency — but a confident starting point.
After a job loss, when household income shifts (new baby, partner stops working), when relocating to a new state, or as a routine annual check to make sure you're not leaving aid on the table.
No — only the state agency that runs each program can make a final decision. This tool screens against the published income + household-size thresholds; your actual eligibility may shift based on assets, work history, or program-specific rules.
SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, WIC, federal Earned Income Tax Credit, federal Child Tax Credit, state-level cash assistance (TANF), and state-specific programs where they exist (e.g. NY's HEAP, CA's CalFresh, IL's All Kids).
No — purely a screening tool. Inputs are household size, monthly income, age, citizenship status, and state. No SSN, no document upload, no account.
The checker asks for immigration status and filters to programs you're eligible for. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, asylees, and some other categories qualify for most federal programs after a waiting period; the tool flags the relevant rules per program.
Federal poverty levels update each January; state-specific thresholds update annually on each state's timeline. The tool flags any state currently lagging behind its published guide so you know the result is provisional.
No — every input lives in your browser session only. Refresh and you start fresh. We don't ship analytics that capture income data.
