What are emergency SNAP benefits? Who is eligible?
To be eligible for expedited benefits, you must meet one of these three criteria:
- Income and money in the bank add up to less than the monthly housing expenses
- Monthly income is less than $150, and money in the bank is less than $100
- The applicant is a migrant worker, and money in the bank is less than $100. If you are eligible for expedited, DTA has to issue you SNAP within 7 days from the date of your application – and make sure you have an EBT card within 7 days.
We suggest you call 1-877-382-2363 (press 7), go in person to your local DTA office, or go to DTAConnect.com to apply.
