SNAP Helps low-income people across the country, and Florida is no exception, have healthy foods. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or popularly known as the Food Stamp Program, provides nutritional support to low-income seniors, people with disabilities living on fixed incomes, and other low-income individuals and families.
SNAP is a federal program administered by the Office of Economic Self-Sufficiency (ESS) from the Florida Department of Children and Families, which is responsible for determining eligibility using federal guidelines. Eligibility rules and levels of benefits of SNAP They are largely set at the federal level and are consistent across the country, although states have flexibility to adapt aspects of the program. Individuals must meet all eligibility rules to receive food assistance benefits.
How SNAP Benefits can be Used
The program allows low-income families to purchase basic foods, including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, bread, cereals and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as seeds and food-producing plants.
However, the benefits cannot be used to purchase non-food items, alcohol, tobacco, vitamins, supplements, pet food, or prepared hot foods sold in stores.
