What is North Dakota Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) safeguards the health and well-being of low income North Dakotans. SNAP benefits are provided to supplement an individual or a family's food budget.
SNAP recipients are issued an Electronic Benefit Transfer card (EBT). The store cashier runs the EBT card through a point-of-sale device to subtract the recipient's purchase amount from their allotted SNAP benefits. North Dakota SNAP operates under the requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
