A food stamp case worker is a social worker who helps low-income individuals and families apply for and receive food stamps, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These case workers play a crucial role in ensuring that those in need have access to essential food assistance.
Food stamp case workers provide comprehensive support to their clients. They assess their eligibility for food stamps, help them complete the application process, and provide ongoing assistance with maintaining their benefits. Additionally, they offer guidance on nutrition and budgeting, connecting clients to other social services and resources within the community.
