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).

North Dakota SNAP operates under the requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
