How does SNAP work?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps a variety of people in need, including students, older adults, people with disabilities, people and families who are either unemployed or underemployed, and veterans or active military members and their families.
Once enrolled in the program, an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card is issued to your household that is to be used like a debit card. Benefits are issued monthly, and the funds can be used to purchase food that qualifies within the program.
