FOOD STAMPS
SNAP benefits can help put healthy food on the table by
providing benefits to buy food at many local grocery stores and
farmers’ markets. Benefits are provided each month through a
plastic ACCESS Card, similar to an ATM or credit card.
TERMS
"EBT" stands for Electronic Benefit Transfer, a system set up to
easily give you benefits through your ACCESS card.
"SNAP" stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,
the name for the food stamp program. "SNAP benefits" are the
same as food stamps.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW?
You can work and still get SNAP benefits.
Farmers’ markets often accept SNAP benefits, so you can
purchase fresh, local produce using your ACCESS card. For more
information, see the "From the Farm" section of this guide.
5AM I ELIGIBLE?
Eligibility is based on household size, income, expenses and other
factors. Households have to meet income tests to get benefits, but
households that have members who are age 60 and older, or who
are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Social Security
Disability (SSD) benefits can have higher incomes and still get
benefits.
Does your monthly household income fall below these limits? If so you
may qualify for SNAP.
MONTHLY INCOME LIMITS
(BEFORE TAXES)
1 Person: $1,608
2 People: $2,166
3 People: $2,723
4 People: $3,280
5 People: $3,838
6 People: $4,395
7 People: $4,952
8 People: $5,510
9 People: $6,068
10 People: $6,626
Each Additional Person: +$558
NOTE: If someone in your household is 60+ years old or
disabled, higher income limits apply.
Childcare and medical expenses for seniors and SSI/SSD recipients
can be counted as allowable expenses toward determining your
SNAP benefit amount, but are not deducted from gross income to
determine eligibility.

6 FINDERIMMIGRANT ELIGIBILIT Y
Documented immigrants can often receive SNAP benefits if they
have lived in the country for 5 years or more with a green card, or
are children (ages 18 and under).
SNAP does NOT affect immigration status.
Ineligible immigrant parents can still receive benefits for
their children even if parents do not qualify.
Certain non-citizens, such as refugees or aslyees from
certain countries, may also be able to receive benefits.
COLLEGE STUDENT ELIGIBILIT Y
Students enrolled at least part-time at an institution of higher
learning may qualify for SNAP if they meet one of the following
requirements:
Student is enrolled in Federal Work-Study.
Student works 20 or more hours per week.
Student has a dependent under the age of 13.
Student is over age 50.

SHARE Food Program's host sites offer food packages for $10 to $30
where people exchange volunteer time for the opportunity to buy
affordable food once a month. For each package of food purchased,
SHARE asks for two hours of 'good deed' time, whether at SHARE or
places in your own neighborhood. You can use your SNAP benefits
to purchase packages.
SHARE's food packages offer meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and
grocery items for as little as half the price you would pay at a regular
grocery store. The food in SHARE's packages is never donated,
government surplus, or salvage.
HOW TO PURCHASE A FOOD PACK AGE
You can register and submit an order online at
www.sharefoodprogram.org, call, or register directly at SHARE's
warehouse located at 2901 W. Hunting Park Ave, 19129.
