With benefits distributed through a convenient Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, participants can purchase a wide range of food products specifically meant for human consumption, with certain restrictions in place. Employment does not disqualify individuals or families from receiving assistance, making SNAP accessible to many. To find out if you qualify for food assistance, we offer an easy online pre-screening tool. Applications can be submitted through the Colorado PEAK website, via the MyCOBenefits app, by mail with a paper form, or by contacting the Hunger Free Colorado Hotline. After approval, which typically takes 7 to 30 days, your EBT card will be sent to you. Though online purchases are not yet supported, many locations, including Walmart, allow for EBT card use for in-store pickups. For more information, please reach out to your county office to explore all available options.
