    • Boyd County CHFS Office Details

    The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, is part of a federal nutrition program that helps qualifying low-income households purchase nutritious food. This program is designed to increase their nutritional level so that households can stay healthy. 

    Individuals must apply for the program and provide all the required documentation. In order to qualify, applicants must meet certain financial criteria(income, assets) and non-financial (state residency, citizenship/alien status, work registration, and other) requirements. 

    How to apply:
    • Online
    • Via Telephone 1-855-306-8959
    • Print out application and mail, fax or hand deliver the document to the local office.


    After the application is filed, the individual will be interviewed by a case worker and should be prepared to answer questions related to the household situation. Once it is determined that the applicant is eligible for SNAP benefits, an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card will be sent via mail to the address provided in the application. It will also include instructions on how to activate the card and choose a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The EBT card should be signed immediately. 


    The amount of benefit provided is based on income, resources and the number of individuals in the household. SNAP benefits are issued monthly on the EBT Card. This card can be used just like a debit card at authorized grocery stores and food retailers. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase almost any food item, except ready-to-eat hot foods. It can also be used to buy seeds and plants to grow fruits and vegetables. The following items cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits: tobacco, alcohol, pet food, soap and other household products, medicines, and other non-food items.

    For additional information please contact the Toll Free number at 1-800-372-2973.

      My husband had to drop off papers for my aunt in the Ashland office today and to say the woman working the front desk was rude is an understatement. Not one time did she bother to look up from the game she was playing on her phone, but when he asked for a receipt, she refused to give him one, told him to put the papers in an envelope and stick them in the box. Generally, a receipt wouldn't be needed, but because of a mistake on their part, my aunt lost her food stamps and has been bringing them papers to be reinstated. We dropped off what they asked for last week and that still wasn't good enough so more had to be taken in today. If she doesn't want to do her job, she doesn't need to be there.

      I previously worked, years ago, at the SNAP office and the Division of Permanency and Protection in Greenup County Ky. If we would have been as rude as the workers are today we would’ve been out of a job. I’m primarily referring to the SNAP ( what we called Food-stamp) office. I received benefits for the first time in my life recently and couldn’t believe how rude the workers were and evidently are allowed to be today.
