I live with other people. Do I have put their names on my application?

Updated on: January 18th, 2024

If you live with roomates, and…

  • you DO buy and prepare most of your food with the people you live with, you are considered a household. You WOULD apply together for SNAP as a household and WOULD put all their names on the application.
  • DO NOT prepare most of your food together, you would apply as an individual,  and would NOT put their names on the application.

Some people must always apply together, including spouses and children under 22 living with a parent or step-parent.
