To determine if you are eligible, gather information showing your income, rent or mortgage, utility bills, child support, daycare expenses, medical bills, Supplement Security  Income (SSI), and Social Security or VA payments. You will need this information as part of the process qualifying for your state's food benefit program.

  3. Receive your card. If your state determines that you qualify for food benefits, they will send you an EBT card.
  4. Manage your benefits. Access food benefits at your local SNAP retailers HERE . You can use the card at a cash register like a credit or debit card to pay for food.
