What Is SNAP and Who Can Receive It in 2025?

SNAP is a federally funded food assistance program operated by individual state agencies. It offers monthly funds loaded onto an EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card, which can be used to purchase eligible food items at participating retailers.

To receive SNAP in 2025, applicants must meet certain income, citizenship, and household size criteria. Most applicants will also need to complete a short interview and submit verification documents.
