Income limits by state

Each state page lists gross income limits for SNAP, WIC, school meals, LIHEAP, and Medicaid. A dollar appears only when an official table gives that figure. Expanded states use 138 percent of the 2026 poverty guidelines for adults. States that have not expanded show the parent limit from KFF's January 2026 table.
