If you’re one of Florida’s 3 million+ SNAP recipients, viral posts about a “November 2025 blanket deadline” or “new higher income limits” have likely caused confusion. The truth? There is no universal November recertification deadline—and no major eligibility expansions this month. Here’s the accurate guide as of November 18, 2025.
Florida SNAP Recertification: How It Really Works
Recertification (also called redetermination) is required to keep benefits active—Florida doesn’t have a single November cutoff for everyone.
- Certification periods: Most households get 6 months; elderly/disabled or stable-income families can get 12–24 months.
- Your deadline: Based on when you were last approved—not a fixed November date.
- Notice: DCF sends a reminder ~2 months before your period ends (mail or MyACCESS account email).
- Miss it? Benefits stop at the end of your current period—no automatic November 30 cutoff.
The recent government shutdown delayed some November payments (now fully issued as of Nov. 14), but it did not change recertification rules.
Current Florida SNAP Income Limits (Oct 2025–Sept 2026)
Florida uses broad-based categorical eligibility—gross income up to 200% federal poverty level (no asset test for most).
| Household Size | Gross Monthly Income Limit (200% FPL) | Max Monthly Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $2,510 | $292 |
| 2 | $3,408 | $536 |
| 3 | $4,305 | $768 |
| 4 | $5,203 | $975 |
| 5 | $6,101 | $1,157 |
| Each additional | +$898 | +$219 |
Net income (after deductions) must be ≤100% FPL for a benefit >$0.
