Food Assistance Program The U.S. Department of Agriculture provides temporary food assistance to eligible low-income families and individuals.

Eligibility is based on the financial situation of all members of a household.
Everyone who lives together, buys and cooks food is considered a member of the same household group.
In general, they will review your expenses, assets and income to determine what benefits you may be eligible for.
Application Process You must complete and submit an application to determine if you can receive assistance through MDHHS for food, Medicaid, child care, temporary cash, emergencies, etc.

EBT is the US government\s electronic based system in the US for payment of monies to those approved for food and cash benefit payments.

Check EBT Card Balance
States have their methods to log in and check your ETB balance online. We provide that information on our state pages.

Apply for EBT Card
Most states allow online applications for EBT Cards through the application for Food Stamps (SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or cash benefits through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). We provided this local office contact for those who want to apply for their EBT in person at this office. After applying for your benefits you will most likely need to come in for an interview at this or another local social service office.
