OVERVIEW: Oversees the implementation of state run income maintenance programs.

1) SUPPLEMENT NUTRITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP): Free food benefits provided monthly to eligible low-income households that allows them to purchase food from participating stores. Clients are given an independence card similar to a bank debit card to access benefits.
ELIGIBILITY: Eligibility is based upon household size and income. Benefits are not intended to cover total monthly food expenses but are designed to be a supplement to the food budget. U.S. citizenship is a requirement of the program but non-citizens with “qualified immigrant” status may also meet eligibility requirements. A signed application and interview is required in order to receive benefits. Specific information on eligibility is available at the local office.
PROCEDURE: Have callers needing SNAP call MD Hunger Solutions at 866-821-5552. To qualify for SNAP, income requirements must be met.
