Single Mother Guide Benefit Estimate

Estimate cash assistance, SNAP food benefits, Summer EBT, WIC and LIHEAP utility help for a household in any state.

The Single Mother Guide Benefit Estimate extension gives an unofficial estimate of five government benefits for a household in any of the 50 states or the District of Columbia. Cash: the maximum monthly amount under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Food: the maximum monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit. Summer EBT: the amount per summer for school-age children. WIC: the estimated monthly food value under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. LIHEAP: the maximum Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) benefit. A household enters a state, a household size and a monthly or annual income. The extension shows which of the five programs the household may qualify for and the estimated amount. A link opens the state guide on SingleMotherGuide.com, which explains each program and where to apply. The estimate uses the same eligibility rules as the calculators on SingleMotherGuide.com. Rules and amounts vary by state and change each year. The result is not an eligibility determination. Only the state or federal agency that runs a program decides eligibility and benefit amounts.
