Asset Limits Hurt Families, States
SNAP is a means-tested program, limiting eligibility to people below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. There are also limits for assets like savings and vehicles. Asset limits make it harder for people who need SNAP to access it—and make it harder for people to invest in the savings they need to weather future financial emergencies. Moreover, they increase administrative costs and bureaucracy for states.
