Resources in Your Area
Choose official state SNAP resources or find local food and community support.
Official State SNAP Resources
Apply for SNAP or find your official state agency, hotline, local office, and EBT information.
How applying works
- Apply through your state — online, in person, by mail, or by fax, depending on the state.
- Complete the eligibility process. The state reviews your household, income, and expenses, and an interview may be required.
- Receive a decision from the state, explaining the amount and how long the approval lasts.
- Use the EBT card at authorized retailers for eligible food.
- Report required changes and renew, following your state’s instructions.
Applications go to your state agency. The state may require an interview, issues the decision, and sends the instructions for reporting changes and renewing. My SNAP Benefits cannot submit an application, check an application’s status, conduct an interview, see your case, or access your EBT account.
Checking your EBT balance
Check a recent receipt, use an official state EBT app if your state offers one, or contact your state’s SNAP or EBT service. Your state’s EBT contact details are on its resource page below. For more about the card, see Benefits and using your EBT card.
Local Food and Community Support
Find food banks, meal programs, SNAP application assistance, and other community support near you. This is community help, separate from your official state SNAP case.
