Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

​

SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is the program formerly known as food stamps. It is a federal nutrition program that helps you stretch your food budget and buy healthy food. In Massachusetts, you apply for benefits through the state agency that administers the program, called the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA).

​

If you do not have documented immigration status, you will not be able to apply for yourself, but you may be able to apply for other eligible household members. Children born in the US may receive benefits even if their parents do not have documentation.

​

You can apply online, in person or through a paper application. To apply online please visit http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/gov/departments/dta/food-assistance.html
