Terms of Use

By using snapeligibilitycalc.com, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the site — there's no account or registration to undo.

We may update these terms as the site evolves. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top will change. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the updated terms.

This site is for personal, informational use. You may:

• Use the calculator to estimate your household's SNAP eligibility
• Read and share links to pages on this site
• Quote short excerpts from this site's content with clear attribution and a link back to the source page
• Use the calculator's outputs for your own decision-making (with the limitations described in the Disclaimer)

You may not:

• Scrape, mass-query, or bulk-extract content from this site using automated tools
• Republish the calculator's logic, content, or design as your own without attribution
• Attempt to break, abuse, or overwhelm the site's infrastructure
• Represent this site's content as official government information — it isn't, and presenting it that way would mislead people
• Reverse-engineer or reuse source code beyond what's permitted by the applicable open-source dependency licenses

The original content on this site — the state-guide analyses, page text, and design — is owned by the site's operator, Alex Bennett.

SNAP rules, federal regulations, income limits, and USDA program data are public domain. No claim is made to that underlying material — only to the original expression, research, and analysis layered on top of it.

Bootstrap, Bootstrap Icons, and other open-source dependencies retain their respective licenses (MIT for Bootstrap; MIT for Bootstrap Icons). Those licenses are not affected by anything in these terms.

You may link to any page on this site without permission. Linking does not require a request.

This site links to USDA, state agency websites, and other authoritative external sources. We don't control the content of those sites and aren't responsible for what they say or how they change over time.

A link from this site is a citation or reference — not an endorsement of everything on the linked site. For official eligibility determinations and applications, the linked government sites are the authoritative resource.

This site is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind — see the Disclaimer for what that means for calculator estimates specifically.

The operator is not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site. This includes decisions made based on calculator outputs, missed benefit applications, financial loss, or any other consequential damages.

Plain version: this is a free informational tool run by one person. It is one input among many. Use it accordingly.

Your use of this site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data is collected (very little), how it's used, and what we don't do with it.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States. Any disputes arising from your use of this site will be resolved in the courts of California.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.

We may update these terms as the site changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any revision. Material changes will be accompanied by a clear prose update — not just a date change.
