What are emergency SNAP benefits? Who is eligible?

Updated on: January 18th, 2024

To be eligible for expedited benefits, you must meet one of these three criteria:

  1. Income and money in the bank add up to less than the monthly housing expenses
  2. Monthly income is less than $150, and money in the bank is less than $100
  3. 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.
