Get money for groceries with SNAP
SNAP is the national Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (sometimes referred to as “food stamps”). SNAP is a program funded by the federal government, but run by each state. Your state might offer SNAP under a different program name.
SNAP provides cash benefits (money for groceries) to income-eligible households. The cash benefits can be used to purchase approved SNAP-eligible food items.
Is your family eligible for SNAP?
Use SNAP Screener to find out.
Snap Screener is a free tool that helps you figure out if you are eligible for SNAP, preview how much money you might receive each month, and connect with your state SNAP program to apply.
It is an unofficial tool, so you will still have to apply through your state. But we think it’s pretty great! It takes less than 10 minutes to use. And because it is unofficial, you can enter your best guess for details like your household income or utility expenses. Once you finish your eligibility preview using snapscreener.com, you’ll have a better idea for the documents and information that you need to apply for SNAP, and you’ll get a link to find the SNAP application for your state.
