ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR THE FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM?

SNAP eligibility is based on the financial situation of all members in a household. Everyone who lives, purchases, and/or prepares food together is considered a member of the same household group. Applying for SNAP will include a review your expenses, assets, military retirement, VA disability payments and income to determine what, if any, benefits you may be eligible.

For additional support services through Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services, call 855-275-6424.
