SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, provides financial assistance to eligible low-income individuals and families to help them buy food. This federal aid program, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, aims to improve access to nutritious food, reduce food insecurity, and support overall well-being among those facing economic hardships. Participants receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food items at authorized retail food stores. SNAP benefits are intended to supplement a household's food budget, not replace it entirely, and eligibility and benefit levels are based on household size, income, and other factors.
