⏺ Based on the calculations, here's what the SNAP benefit would be for a single person with $10,000
employment income in 2025 across different states:
1. Delaware: $4,883/year (highest)
2. Alabama: $3,413/year
3. Arkansas: $3,117/year
4. Most states: $1,866/year
5. West Virginia: $0/year (lowest)
Some states (Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming) had technical errors in the calculation, likely due
to missing data requirements.
The variation in SNAP benefits is due to differences in state policies regarding income thresholds,
deductions, and benefit calculations. Delaware, Alabama, and Arkansas appear to have more generous SNAP
programs for low-income individuals.
