You can apply for SNAP benefits at the Department of Human Services.
There are 3 steps:
- You must submit an application
- You must supply needed verifications:
-
Social security numbers for ALL household members
-
Identification for applicant
-
Current medical bills if you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or are over age 60
-
Verification of:
-
Income/Benefits/Child Support
-
Residence
-
Termination of employment (need date, reason, amount of last pay)
- You will need to have an interview if applying for SNAP or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Applications are accepted at any time in person, electronically or by mail. Face-to-face interviews, if needed, will be scheduled each day by appointment. You also have the option to have a telephone interview.
If all interview slots are filled or you cannot stay for your interview, you have the option to complete and leave a signed and dated application with us. If applying for SNAP or TANF, you may need to return another day to complete the application interview process; an appointment day and time will be scheduled for you.
If applying for TANF or General Relief, the application is also considered for SNAP benefits.
