The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a uniform nationwide program intended to promote the general welfare and safeguard the health and well being of the nation’s population by raising the levels of nutrition among low-income households. This manual contains policies and procedures that are used by county social service offices.
Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) is an on-line, computer based system that allows for the delivery of nutrition assistance benefits to eligible households which are used to purchase food. Once certified, benefits are electronically posted into an EBT account for each month of a household’s certification period.
