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

Eligibility is based on the financial situation of all household members.
Anyone who lives together and buys and prepares food together is considered a member of the same household group.
Generally, they will review your expenses, assets and income to determine what benefits, if any, you may qualify for.
Application Process - You must complete and submit an application to determine if you can receive help with food, Medicaid, child care, temporary cash, an emergency, etc., through MDHHS.

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.
