Kansas SNAP Income Limits and Maximum Benefits 2026

Kansas uses the standard federal SNAP screens: gross income at or below 130% of the poverty guideline, net income at or below 100%, and the federal resource test. The table shows FY 2026 monthly amounts by household size.

Household sizeGross monthly income limitNet monthly income limitMaximum monthly benefit
1$1,696$1,305$298
2$2,292$1,763$546

7$5,271$4,055$1,571
8$5,867$4,513$1,789
Households with a member who is age 60+ or disabled skip the gross income test in Kansas. Deductions can bring income under the net limit — the calculator above applies them automatically.

Like most states, Kansas publishes annual Standard Utility Allowances that caseworkers apply in place of actual bills. We haven't yet verified Kansas's FY 2026 SUA amounts from an official source, so our calculator conservatively uses the utility amount you enter — your official determination may come out higher if the state's allowance exceeds your actual bills.
