About SNAP 

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides monthly benefits to help lower-income individuals and families buy healthy food. Benefits are issued to a SNAP account and accessed with an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. 

EBT cards work like debit cards—just swipe and enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) at checkout. Authorized retailers display a “We Welcome SNAP EBT Customers” poster.

How It Works
Who Can Qualify
  • Monthly deposits: Eligible households receive automatic monthly deposits. 
  • EBT card: Each household gets an EBT card to spend benefits. 
  • PIN: You must have a 4-digit PIN to use your card. 
  • Where to shop: Use your card at grocery stores, farmers' markets and some meal programs that accept EBT.
  • Work requirements: Adults who can work must work, take part in a work activity or meet an exemption to keep receiving SNAP benefits. See Frequently Asked Questions here. 

Eligibility is based on household size and income. Most households must meet both gross اور net income limits. 

  • Gross income: Total income before deductions
  • Net income: Income after allowable deductions
  • Allotment: SNAP expects households to spend about 30% of their own money on food. Benefits are calculated to fill the gap. 

Some households qualify automatically if they already get benefits from programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is called "categorical eligibility".
