The
new name reflects our focus on nutrition and
putting healthy food within reach for low income
households. Changes have been made to make the
Program more accessible. |
|
Although
SNAP will be the national name, your State may
use a different name. |
|
SNAP helps low-income
people and families buy the food they need for
good health. You
apply for benefits by completing a
State application form. Benefits are provided
on an electronic card that is used like an ATM
card and accepted at most grocery stores. |
|
Through nutrition
education partners, SNAP helps clients learn to
make healthy eating and active lifestyle
choices.
