How to Obtain New Retailer SNAP Posters and Decals

As of May 19, 2010, FNS revised its SNAP posters and decals to inform clients that benefits are not merely accepted, but welcomed at your establishment.  If you are an authorized SNAP retailer, you may order the new SNAP poster and decal for your store, or replace lost or damaged material, by calling our toll-free retailer hotline at 1-877-823-4369.  Please have your FNS number on hand prior to calling.
