To be eligible for SNAP, you must meet certain income and residency requirements. Income requirements vary from state to state, but most SNAP programs are available to people with incomes below 138% of the federal poverty level. Residency requirements also vary from state to state, but most SNAP programs are available to people who are legal residents of the state.
If you think you may be eligible for SNAP, you can apply through your state SNAP agency. You can find contact information for your state SNAP agency on the SNAP website: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap

Your SNAP benefits will be loaded onto an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. You can use your EBT card to buy food at most grocery stores and convenience stores.
SNAP benefits can be used to buy a variety of foods, including:
- Fruits and vegetables
- Meat, poultry, and fish
- Dairy products

SNAP benefits cannot be used to buy alcohol, tobacco, or pet food.
