Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

Key point: CheckMyVoucher provides informational estimates only. We are not a government agency. Results from this tool are not an official determination of your benefits eligibility.
Not affiliated with any government agency. CheckMyVoucher is an independent educational website. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), any Public Housing Authority (PHA), or any federal, state, or local government agency. The word "voucher" in our name refers to the Housing Choice Voucher program; it does not imply any official status.

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using checkmyvoucher.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms.

1. Informational Purpose Only

All content on CheckMyVoucher — including calculator results, eligibility estimates, income limit tables, Fair Market Rent figures, benefit amounts, policy summaries, and blog articles — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, financial advice, housing counseling, or a determination of eligibility for any government benefit program.

Calculator results are estimates based on the federal formulas and HUD-published data that your local housing authority or SNAP office also uses. However, actual eligibility for Section 8 / Housing Choice Vouchers and SNAP benefits is determined solely by the relevant government agency — your local Public Housing Authority for Section 8, and your state's SNAP agency for food benefits.

2. No Government Affiliation

CheckMyVoucher is an independent private website. We are not:

Applying for Section 8 or SNAP through CheckMyVoucher is not possible. You must apply directly through your local PHA or state SNAP office.

3. HUD Data Attribution

Fair Market Rent figures and income limit data used in our calculator come from HUD's public API at huduser.gov. This data is updated annually. Our use of HUD's data does not constitute endorsement by HUD of this site or its results. HUD's official data and tools are available at hud.gov.

4. Accuracy and Completeness

We strive to keep all information on this Site current and accurate. However, federal and state programs change frequently. We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of any information on the Site.

Your actual benefit amount may differ from our estimate based on factors including but not limited to: local payment standard adjustments, utility allowances specific to your unit, individual deductions, PHAs' discretionary policies, state-level SNAP supplemental programs, and recent regulatory changes not yet reflected on this site.

5. No Professional Advice

Content on this Site does not constitute and should not be relied upon as legal, financial, tax, or housing counseling advice. For personalized guidance, contact a HUD-approved housing counselor (search at hud.gov/findacounselor), a legal aid organization, or your local social services office.

6. Permitted Use

You may use CheckMyVoucher for personal, non-commercial informational purposes. You may not:

7. Affiliate Relationships

CheckMyVoucher may display links to third-party products or services. Some of these are affiliate links — if you click one and complete a purchase or application, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or the accuracy of our calculators.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CheckMyVoucher and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or reliance on the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. Privacy

Your use of this Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. The most current version will always be available at checkmyvoucher.com/terms-of-service. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the applicable federal or state courts.
