Texas benefits at a glance
What each program is called in Texas, who runs it, and the rule that most often decides a case. Each name opens that program's page.
| Program | Name in Texas | Run by | Rule that most often decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medicaid | Texas Medicaid | Texas Health and Human Services Commission | Texas has not expanded Medicaid, so a low income alone usually does not qualify an adult without children. |
| SNAP (food) | SNAP Food Benefits | Texas Health and Human Services Commission | No state limit was verified, so the federal 130% gross income test is applied here. |
| TANF (cash help) | TANF Cash Help | Texas Health and Human Services Commission | The state sets both the income limit and the monthly payment. |
| Unemployment | Unemployment Benefits | Texas Workforce Commission | Weekly benefit of $75 to $605, for up to 26 weeks. |
| LIHEAP (energy bills) | Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program | Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs | The state sets the income limit, often by state median income, and the agency confirms it. |
| WIC (nutrition) | Texas WIC | Texas Health and Human Services Commission | Income guideline of 185% of the poverty level, the same in every state. |
