Idaho Food Stamp Allotment
The amount of food stamp allotment in Idaho varies depending on the size of your household and your income level. The allotment is calculated based on the maximum allotment for your household size minus 30% of your household’s net income.

However, it’s important to note that these are the maximum allotments, and your actual allotment may be lower depending on your household’s income level. If you are approved for SNAP benefits, the exact amount of your monthly allotment will be determined by your state’s SNAP office based on your household’s income and expenses.
Idaho Food Stamp Allotment benefits is based on the number of people per household. Idaho residents in need of Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits must first qualify for food stamp benefits. The dollar amount or (allotment) that the household gets is determined yearly by US Department Of Agriculture – USDA. The net monthly income of the Idaho household is multiplied by .3, and the result is subtracted from the maximum allotment for the household size to find the household’s allotment. This is because SNAP (Food Stamp) households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their resources on food.
