My Benefits Map is a reference site about how major US public benefit programs — SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, housing assistance, and related aid — interact when a household receives more than one at a time. Programs are often designed separately, with their own rules for income, assets, and reporting, and the effects of one program on another are not always obvious until a change in one causes a change in another.
The site is written for people who currently receive, or are considering applying for, more than one form of public assistance, as well as caseworkers, advocates, and family members trying to understand the same overlaps. The content walks through how these systems tend to affect each other in general terms: how a change in earnings might ripple through eligibility for several programs at once, or how one program’s rules can create a conflict with another’s.
Everything on this site is general information, not personalized advice. Program rules vary by state, county, and household circumstance, and they change over time. Nothing here should be treated as a substitute for guidance from your caseworker, a legal aid organization, or the agency administering a specific program.
