The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, is a federal assistance program designed to help low-income individuals and families afford nutritious food. SNAP provides eligible participants with an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food items at authorized retailers. The amount of benefits received depends on the household's income, size, and certain expenses. SNAP aims to alleviate hunger and improve nutrition among those with limited financial resources, ensuring access to a healthier diet and supporting overall well-being.
