Contact your local Community Action Agency to apply today.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps Pennsylvanians buy food. People in eligible low-income households can obtain more nutritious diets with SNAP increasing their food purchasing power at grocery stores and supermarkets. Those who are eligible receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) ACCESS Card. Your food stamp/SNAP benefits are directly deposited once a month into your Electronic Benefits Transfer SNAP account. You will use an EBT debit card to go shopping at participating grocery stores. At check out, you will use the same card machine used by all other customers. The federal Food Stamp Program is now called SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program); and instead of issuing paper food stamp coupons, SNAP recipients get an EBT (electronic benefit transfer) card to use in participating stores. When paying for groceries, you just swipe the EBT card in the same card. Jan 07, 2021 Extra SNAP benefits are now available for January 2021! If you get SNAP, you will get extra benefits on your EBT card to help buy food during the COVID-19 crisis. In late December, Congress approved a temporary 15% boost to the SNAP maximum benefit amount. This change will be in place for the next six months, from Jan. 1 – June 30, 2021.

Online Purchasing

EBT cardholders are now able to make online purchases at Amazon, ALDI, and Walmart. Amazon can accept EBT SNAP purchases on SNAP approved items only, and any additional fees (such as delivery fees) must be paid via another form of payment. Walmart can accept both EBT SNAP and Cash purchases, with cash being able to be used for any additional fees and non-SNAP approved items.

Amazon, ALDI, and Walmart may offer promotions at different times and delivery fees may be charged. Prior to making purchases the retailers’ websites should be checked to find any current promotions being offered.

For more information on the SNAP Online Purchasing Program, please see the DHHS Press Release: NH DHHS Announces Online Purchasing Program For SNAP Recipients.

About The SNAP Program

The SNAP Program is about good nutrition and health. It provides eligible people with benefits to buy food items at grocery stores, farmers markets and other approved food retailers.

Who is eligible for SNAP?


You may qualify for SNAP benefits depending on your household size, income, expenses and resources. You may qualify if you own your home, have no home, live with someone else or live alone. You can have a job and you do not have to have children as long as your household meets eligibility guidelines. The Program gives deductions for things like housing costs, utilities, medical costs and child care.

Don’t assume that you won’t be eligible. The only way to find out is to apply.

You can apply on line at nheasy.nh.gov. You can print an application from this website and mail it in. Or you can call 271-9700 or 1-800-852-3345 extension 9700 and they will mail you an application.

If you have an unresolved SNAP concern/complaint, you can work with your District Office to address it, complete and submit the Unresolved Food Stamp Complaints form.

What You Can Buy With Your Snap Benefits

With your Food SNAP benefits you can buy milk and other dairy products; meat, fish, poultry, eggs and beans; cereals, rice, pasta and other grain products; any ingredient used for baking or cooking; fruits and vegetables; cold deli foods for home consumption; ice and water for human consumption; infant formula, some special dietetic or diabetic food and 'natural' or 'organic' food items; and garden seeds and plants for growing food at home.

You cannot buy any kind of beer, alcohol or wine; any type of tobacco products; non-food items like cleaning products, soap and paper products; drugstore medicines such as aspirin, cough syrup and vitamins; items to preserve food such as jars and freezer containers; any 'hot' prepared foods that are ready to eat; and foods not for people such as pet foods.
