Your Path to SNAP Benefits
Step One
You don't need to know if you qualify before you apply. The only way to find out for sure is to submit — and we help you do that.

Emergency SNAP — benefits within 7 days
If your household has less than $100 in savings and less than $150 in monthly income, you may qualify for emergency benefits in one week. Tell your caseworker at the workshop.
Most households no longer need to pass an asset test. Savings, retirement accounts, and a car generally don't count against you.
Step Two
Here is the complete list — nothing more. If you can't find something, your caseworker can help. You have 10 days after the interview to provide missing items.
Don't have something? Just let your caseworker know. We can help you get it — or accept a statement from your employer or landlord instead.
Photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport)
Proof of address (a bill, lease, or piece of mail)
Last 4 weeks of pay stubs — or a letter from your employer
Benefit letters (Social Security, VA, unemployment, pension)
Rent or mortgage amount and utility bills
Social Security numbers for everyone in your household
