| Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for the federal Food Stamp Program.
The new name reflects a heightened 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.
The benefit Bank supports SNAP in the following states:
Arkansas
Kansas
Mississippi
Ohio
Pennsylvania |
