What is SNAP assistance?

SNAP assistance refers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a federal program in the United States that helps low-income individuals and families afford nutritious food. Formerly known as food stamps, SNAP provides eligible participants with an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card to purchase groceries at authorized retailers. The goal of SNAP is to reduce hunger and improve nutrition by increasing access to healthy foods.
