Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Princeton, IN, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance benefits to low-income households, ensuring they have access to the nourishment they need. As part of a comprehensive federal nutrition initiative, SNAP helps families purchase food through the convenient Hoosier Works EBT card, functioning like a debit card. This program covers a wide range of food items intended for human consumption, with the exception of hot meals, alcohol, and non-food products. SNAP eligibility is determined by annual household income and family size, making it essential for applicants to complete an online application to receive timely assistance. Households with a monthly gross income below $150 or those facing higher housing costs than their monthly income may qualify for expedited benefits within just seven days. All eligible applicants will receive a determination notification within thirty days, reinforcing our commitment to alleviating food insecurity in our community.
