Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program that provides financial assistance to households with low income to buy food. Benefits are provided through the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) debit card that can be used at any retail store or food vendor authorized by the USDA. The EBT debit card is credited monthly, which is based on income and household size.
