SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Arizona Families

http://www.EndChildHungerAZ.org - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name for the federal Food Stamp Program.

The new name reflects our focus on nutrition and putting healthy food within reach for low income households. Changes have been made to make the Program more accessible.
Although SNAP will be the national name, your State may use a different name. SNAP helps low-income people and families buy the food they need for good health. You apply for benefits by completing a State application form. Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores.

Through nutrition education partners, SNAP helps clients learn to make healthy eating and active lifestyle choices.

The United States Department of Agricultures Food & Nutrition Service (FNS) is providing this pre-screening tool to help you find out if you or others might be eligible to receive SNAP benefits. This tool is not an application for SNAP. But the tool can help you make an informed decision as to whether you or others should apply at your local SNAP office. It can also guess how much you will get. But only your local SNAP office can tell you for sure.

If you're going to shove the word "nutrition" into your program's name, perhaps you should regulate it so that they are only purchasing nutritious foods. Makes sense, right? Otherwise, you're liars.
