Description
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly Food Stamps) helps low-income people and families buy the food they need for good health.
SNAP/LINK benefits may now be used at restaurants. The Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) allows eligible SNAP customers to purchase prepared meals at authorized restaurants. This program is available to SNAP customers who are homeless, elderly and/or disabled.
Many farmers' markets accept the LINK card.

-- Monthly income, cash and bank accounts are less than client's rent or mortgage plus utility costs, OR
-- Monthly income is less than $150 and client's cash and bank accounts are not more than $100, OR
