Whitley County DFR 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 they can stay healthy.

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

After the application is filed, the individual must have a telephone interview with a case worker and be prepared to answer questions related to the household situation. Once it is determined that the applicant is eligible for SNAP benefits, an electronic request for a "Hoosier Works" card is automatically made and a card will be mailed to the mailing address provided, usually within 3-5 days.

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 Hoosier Works Electronic Benefit Transfer card. This card can be used just like a debit card at authorized grocery stores and food retailers.

For additional information contact the Division of Family Resources at 1-800-403-0864.
