Description
|
Provides a supplement to the food budget of low-income families.
The Food Supplement Program helps low income people buy the food they need for good health. You may be able to receive a food supplement if you: - Work for low wages
- Are unemployed or work part-time
- Receive public assistance payments
- Are elderly or disabled and live on a small income
- Are homeless
The amount of food supplement you are eligible for is based upon the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Thrifty Food Plan. The Thrifty Food Plan is an estimate of how much it costs to buy food to prepare nutritious, low-cost meals for your household. This estimate is changed every year to keep pace with food prices.
In the Food Supplement Program, a household is normally a group of people who live together, buy food and prepare meals together. If your household passes the program's eligibility tests, the amount of food purchasing assistance you receive will depend on the number of people in your household and on how much monthly income is left after certain expenses (deductions) are subtracted
An application to apply for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can be submitted online at https://mymdthink.maryland.gov/home/#/benefits or in person.
To check your eligibility, monitor the status of your cases, update important account information and more, please visit our website at https://www.princegeorgescountymd.gov/1629/Social-Services or call 1-800-332-6347.
