Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

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. 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.
