The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is a federally funded program that provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores. In Indiana, SNAP is administered by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA).
SNAP is an important program that helps to reduce food insecurity and hunger in Indiana. In fiscal year 2021, SNAP provided benefits to over 600,000 Hoosiers, including over 200,000 children. SNAP benefits help families to stretch their food budgets and put food on the table for their children.
