SNAP Application Process
For questions about SNAP benefits, email: [email protected]
Before Applying
To prepare for your application, first:
- Complete the DTA Pre Screening to check you eligibility.
- View the SNAP eligibility charts
You will need to verify your income, expenses and other information. We will tell you what you information need to give us after your interview.
If you are approved for emergency SNAP benefits
Applicants who are eligible for emergency SNAP benefits will receive a letter confirming the amount they are eligible for. The letter will explain what verifications are needed to make a decision for ongoing SNAP benefits.
Like regular SNAP benefits, emergency SNAP benefits are issued on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Applicants must use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to use the emergency benefits.
If you are not approved for emergency SNAP benefits
If you are not approved for emergency SNAP benefits, you might still be eligible for monthly SNAP benefits.
If you have questions about why you were not eligible for emergency SNAP benefits, or you disagree with the decision, let the Department of Transitional Assistance know by contacting the DTA Assistance Line at (877) 382-2363.
If you are facing immediate hunger, your local food bank can provide information on pantries and local programs where you can get access to free food. Visit the website on how to find a local food bank.
