SNAP Benefits FAQ

How Does SNAP Work?

  • SNAP helps you buy the food you need.
  • You receive benefits on an EBT card, which works like a debit card.
  • You can use your EBT card at most grocery stores and food retailers.
  • Income, household size, assets, medical expenses, and other factors determine eligibility.
  • Generally, your gross household income must be less than 200% of the federal poverty level, but deductions may apply.
  • Gross income is what you earn before taxes.
