need to change my address for food stamp
March 12, 2024
A) If you’ve moved or are planning to move, it’s essential to update your address for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Here’s how you can do it:
- Contact Your Local Office:
- Use the locator map to find your local SNAP office.
- Alternatively, you can call your state’s EBT customer service number. You’ll find this information in the SNAP State Directory of Resources.
- Online Option:
- Visit USPS.com/move to change your address online. It’s the fastest and easiest way, and you’ll receive an email confirmation of the change.
- There’s a $1.05 charge for changing your address online. You’ll need a credit or debit card and a valid email address.
- In-Person or Other Methods:
- Depending on where you live, you may need to visit your local Department of Social Services (DSS) office in person.
- Some states also allow you to report changes online, by mail, or by fax.
Remember that failing to notify your local office of your new address may result in a loss of benefits. Stay proactive and ensure your information is up to date!
