Lauderdale County DHS-Family and Children's Services Details

The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the food stamp program, offers monthly benefits that help low-income families buy the food they need for good health.
SNAP is a federal program administered locally by the Mississippi Department of Human Services.
At the national level, SNAP is the largest program in the national safety net against hunger.
SNAP is intended as an income supplement to ensure that nutritional needs are met.
Mississippi residents facing food insecurity are invited to apply for the program.
Help is available for those who have difficulty putting food on the table.
Those eligible for SNAP include individuals who: Low-wage work, are unemployed or work part-time, receive TANF, SSI or other support payments, are elderly or disabled people and live on a small income.
The use of a SNAP pre-screening tool, available through the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), does not determine a family's suitability for SNAP, but can be used to give you an idea of how suitability is determined.
It's a way to deliver Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits without using paper vouchers.
By using a plastic card that works as a debit card, recipients can access their benefits at retail outlets (POS).
Each SNAP Benefit household in Mississippi will be issued an EBT card.
