Adding a newborn to your food stamps can help ensure that your family has enough to eat. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to low-income individuals and families. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores.
To add a newborn to your SNAP case, you will need to contact your local SNAP office. You will need to provide the newborn’s name, date of birth, and Social Security number. You may also need to provide proof of income and residency.
