SNAP (Food Stamps): SNAP (or Food Stamps) can help you buy food. When you apply for SNAP, you get a plastic card called an Electronic Benefits Card. Your SNAP benefit amount will be transferred to the card each month, and you can use the card to buy food. The amount of SNAP you can get depends on how big your family is and how much income you have.
