SNAP is a cash benefit that low-income households in Wyoming receive to pay for food. It provides vital support to those who are transitioning from welfare to work. Benefits can vary depending on many factors such as the size of the household and income. A Wyoming single mother of two may be eligible for up to $413 per month if she has no income.
What Is SNAP?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, offers food benefits, access, and education in food preparation and nutrition for low-income households. The benefits, which are a type of ATM card and electronic card, can be used to purchase eligible food at authorized retail food shops.
SNAP is the largest domestic hunger safety net program. Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), a state agency that works with nutrition educators and neighborhood and faith-based groups, ensure that all those who are eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed choices about how to apply and have access to benefits.
