Onondaga County DSS Details
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, is a federally funded program that assists low-income households purchase nutritious food at authorized grocery stores and other retailers. Individuals must apply for this program and provide all the required documentation. If approved, recipients receive an electronic benefit card (EBT), which is similar to a debit card. The SNAP benefit is provided monthly directly into the EBT card. Amount of SNAP benefit is based on household size, income and other factors.
Eligibility:

As part of the eligibility process you need to provide proof of the following:

- Heating Costs (Proof of what type of fuel you use to heat your home)
- Student Status ( Required for students age 16 and older)

Benefits:
- SNAP benefits can help individuals put healthy food on the table.

I want to close my snap benefit case now. I found a job and no longer need snap.
I am assisting a friend who is a senior. She is recovering from a broken hip. Am I allowed to use her SNAP CARD when I grocery shop for her? Thank You.
Trying to respond to tele messages for my disabled adult son's recertification for SNAP when I call 435-2700, there are no clear instructions as to how to reach the SNAP office. I am uneducated; I have my master's degree and cannot be the only one that cannot access your office with the present prompts.
