The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, is a federal assistance program in the United States designed to help low-income individuals and families access nutritious food. It provides eligible participants with an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card, which can be used to purchase food items at authorized retailers.
SNAP benefits are determined based on household size, income, and expenses. The program aims to alleviate hunger and improve food security, ensuring that those in need can afford a balanced diet. It also supports local economies by increasing food purchases in communities.
