The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) initiative that helps low-income individuals and households gain access to nutritious food.
With the start of August, thousands of residents are waiting for these benefits, and it is critical to be aware of the program’s timeline.
Residents can use an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card, such as the Access Florida Card, to purchase a variety of foods in the same way that they would a debit card. Although there are some restrictions on purchases, families can obtain basic nutrition services from any permitted business.
