The food stamp office in Clay County, Missouri, provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. The office is responsible for processing applications for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. SNAP is a federally funded program that provides monthly benefits to eligible households to help them purchase food.
To be eligible for SNAP, households must meet certain income and asset requirements. Households must also meet certain work requirements, unless they are exempt. The food stamp office can help households determine if they are eligible for SNAP and can assist them with the application process.
