Food Aid Program Terminal food aid for eligible low-income families and individuals is available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Eligibility shall be based on the financial situation of all members of the household.
Everyone who lives together and buys and prepares food together is considered a member of the same family group.
In general, they look at your expenses, assets and income to determine what benefits you may be entitled to. Application procedure You must complete and submit an application to determine if you are eligible to receive assistance in the form of food, Medicaid, childcare, temporary money, emergency money, etc. through MDHHS.
When submitting the application, it may be necessary to provide information about all members of the household.

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.
