SNAP helps low-income people buy the food they need for good health. SNAP benefits are not cash. SNAP benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM or bank card to buy food at most grocery stores. To get SNAP benefits, your income and other resources have to be under certain limits.

Institutions can now receive cash reimbursements from the USDA for nutritious snacks served to children through age 18 if the children are participating in afterschool care programs

USDA has many programs to help people get food. We want you to know what help there is. We grouped the programs in this booklet by the people they can help. Immigrants can get food help from all of these programs.

Audits are a primary tool used by the Federal government to ensure that these funds are expended properly.
