Description

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the new name for the Food Stamp Program, provides monthly benefits for low-income people of all ages, including older adults (age 60+), to buy the groceries of their choice at participating grocery stores, bodegas, and participating farmers' markets. As an entitlement program, anyone who meets program guidelines for eligibility will receive SNAP benefits. Participants, or their caregivers, use an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card to buy food. New Yorkers apply for SNAP through their county Department of Social Services. In New York City, applications go through Human Resources Administration (HRA) offices. In many cases, people may be allowed to either apply online, or mail or fax in their application instead of making an office visit. Also, most older or disabled adults may be able to interview with a caseworker over the telephone, rather than face-to-face.
