I applied for SNAP benefits several years ago, wondering if I could reinstate them with a different address

Q) I applied for SNAP benefits several years ago and I was wondering if I could reinstate them with a different address, Cuz I moved. No income right now and unemployment ran out September of last year. But I am on a leased car so I need to save gas and miles. Been busy trying to look for work so can I just reapply over the phon

A) Yes, you can reapply for SNAP benefits over the phone. You can call your local SNAP office and speak to a representative. They will be able to help you with the application process and answer any questions that you have.

Here are the steps on how to reapply for SNAP benefits over the phone:

1. Find your local SNAP office. You can do this by visiting the USDA website or by calling 1-800-221-9364.
2. Call your local SNAP office and speak to a representative.
3. Provide the representative with your name, address, and Social Security number.
4. Answer the representative’s questions about your income, expenses, and household size.
5. If you are approved, the representative will send you a letter with your benefits card information.

It is important to note that you may need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of income or proof of residency. You can find more information about the documentation requirements on the USDA website.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
