To get Food & Nutrition Services (FNS), your household must meet income limits. The Department of Social Services (DSS) office will tell you which income limits your household must meet.
Income limits are updated every year. If your income was too high in the past, please look at the table below to see if you might be able to get FNS now.

North Carolina no longer uses the resource limit test for most households. The DSS office will tell you if your household has to meet a resource limit test. You may be able to get FNS even if you own a home, car, land, property, or have a retirement plan or money in the bank.
