Boost Your Health with Nutritious Food Through SNAP
As you age, it’s more important than ever that you are eating well for essential nutrients. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can help you buy the food you need to maintain good health. With your food assistance benefits, you can feed your body the right nutrients and maintain a healthy weight to stay active and independent.
SNAP can help you afford healthy food when you need it, and the average older adult receives $158 each month. Whether you’re interested in learning more about SNAP for yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to determine whether you qualify.
There are a variety of ways to file an application for SNAP benefits. Find out which option is right for you so you don’t miss out on valuable food assistance that can help improve your quality of life.
A SNAP interview helps determine your eligibility and qualifies you for benefits so you can buy nourishing food. Learn more about the process and go into your interview prepared.
