Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Cortez, CO, is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing essential food assistance benefits that ensure access to adequate nutrition for all residents. Through monthly benefits loaded onto an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, families can purchase a wide range of food products necessary for their well-being. Designed to be inclusive, SNAP eligibility extends to working individuals and families based on their income levels. The program encourages prospective applicants to utilize the online pre-screening tool to determine eligibility. Applications for food assistance can conveniently be submitted online via the Colorado PEAK website, through the MyCOBenefits mobile app, or by completing a paper application. Our committed team strives to process applications swiftly, with an estimated approval time ranging from 7 to 30 days, after which your EBT card will be mailed to you. While online purchases are not currently supported, designated representatives can make purchases on your behalf with the EBT card. For more information, individuals can reach out to their local county office, where support and guidance are readily available.
