The Food Stamp Program provides food assistance to eligible households to cover a portion of an eligible household's food budget. Benefits are distributed through Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT). In addition to food assistance, the program provides food stamp recipients with nutrition education, employment & training, and work experience.
Food Stamp Program Mission Statement:
As the official benefits website of the U.S. government, our mission is to increase citizen access to benefit information, while reducing the expense and difficulty of interacting with the government.** taken from the Food Stamp Program website
