Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP (formerly Food Support) Important Notice:
The
name of Food Support changed to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program or
SNAP to align with the federal name for the program. There will be no changes
to the program requirements or benefits. The Department of Human Services will
gradually implement this name change starting February 1, 2012.
The program will be referred to as SNAP on this website effective February 1, 2012.
To apply for SNAP, you need to fill out part I and part II of the Combined Application Form. Be sure to read all the information about how to complete the application.
If you want to apply for a health care program (Medical Assistance, MinnesotaCare or General Assistance Medical Care) or cash assistance (Diversionary Work Program or Minnesota Family Investment Program), you can use this same application to do so.
When you have completed the application, take it to your county or tribal human services agency.
