What is Considered a Household (for Food Stamps/SNAP Benefits)?

In terms of Food Stamps, a household is a group of people who live together, buy food, and prepare meals together, and whose members meet the eligibility requirements and are approved for food stamp benefits.

The amount of food stamp benefits you get will depend on the number of eligible people in your household and on how much monthly income is left after certain expenses (deductions) are subtracted.
