Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Wabash, IN, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance benefits to low-income households, enabling them to purchase nutritious food. Through this essential federal nutrition program, eligible families receive a Hoosier Works EBT card, allowing them to access benefits much like a debit card. These benefits can be used for a wide range of food items intended for human consumption, with the exception of hot meals, alcohol, tobacco products, pet food, and paper goods. Eligibility is determined by household income and size, ensuring that those in need receive timely support. For households with monthly gross income below $150 or with significant housing costs, benefits can be received within seven days of applying. Others will be informed of their eligibility within thirty days. For assistance, individuals can easily complete the online application to take the first step towards accessing nutrition support.
