Online Store Application
Welcome to the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program’s Online Store Application. As of Oct. 1, 2008,
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for the
federal Food Stamp Program. This new name reflects the changes we’ve
made to meet the needs of our clients, including a focus on nutrition
and an increase in benefit amounts. We are in the process of updating
our forms to reflect the new program name.
During this transition
period, the on-line store application will continue to reference the
Food Stamp Program, though other material you may receive from us will
reference SNAP. Please note that the on-line store application is
offered only in English at this time.
In order to access our on-line application,
follow these steps:
1. |
Set up a USDA
eAuthentication account by clicking the Register button.
After you enter the requested information (name and
address), a system generated email will be sent to the email
address that you provide (in about 15 minutes). The email
contains instructions on how to activate your account.
Remember to keep your User ID and password. |

activated, return to this page and click the Sign In button
