About DSNAP

DSNAP provides eligible low-to-moderate-income households who do not normally receive SNAP benefits with help buying groceries due to lost income or damages following a disaster.


SNAP Recipients Not Eligible for DSNAP

SNAP recipients are not eligible for DSNAP and should not apply. In the event of a disaster, if SNAP recipients are eligible for additional benefits, those benefits will be handled through a separate process.

DSNAP Benefit Estimator

The DSNAP Benefit Estimator helps households determine if they may qualify for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) benefits. The estimator calculates potential benefits by considering your household’s take-home income, accessible financial resources, and disaster-related expenses during a 30-day period. Please note that this tool provides an estimate and does not guarantee eligibility or benefit amounts.
