Food Stamps

Food Stamps in Nevada, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a state-run program designed to provide low-income individuals and families with the financial resources to purchase nutritious food. Administered by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the program works on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system, allowing beneficiaries to use a card, similar to a debit card, to buy eligible food items at authorized retail locations. Eligibility is based on household size, income, expenses, and resources, with special provisions for seniors, people with disabilities, and those with dependents. SNAP is an essential component of Nevada’s safety net, promoting food security and helping to alleviate poverty across the state.
