Food Stamp Bills, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), provide financial assistance to low-income individuals and families to help them purchase food. The program is administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is the largest nutrition assistance program in the country.
SNAP benefits are distributed through electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards that can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores. The amount of benefits a household receives is based on its income, household size, and certain deductions. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, and bread.
