Employment does not interfere with getting food stamps. Even if you are working, but earning low wages, you may be eligible.
Average food stamps benefits are over $100 per person per month, and $200 or more for families. That means that the average family on food stamps receives more than $2,400 worth of food support each year.
Farmers’ Markets often accept food stamps, so you can purchase fresh produce using your benefits. For a complete list of farmers’ markets that accept food stamps, see Page 26.
EBT Stands for Electronic
Benefit Transfer. It's the system the goverment uses to disburse benefits.
SNAP Stands for
SupplementalNutrition
Assistance Program.
Newly adopted name for the food stamps program.
“SNAP benefits” is the same thing as
“food stamps.”
Food stamp benefits can help put healthy food on the table by providing monthly financial assistance to purchase food at authorized grocery stores and farm-ers’ markets. Benefits are provided monthly through a plastic benefit card, similar to a debit or credit card.

FROM THE FARMFROM THE FARM
FARMERS' MARKETS
New Yorkers can access foods straight from the farm in two ways: farmers' markets and community supported agriculture programs or CSAs. CSA members purchase "shares" in an entire season of high quality, fresh produce grown by local farmers. Members usually pay for their shares in advance, but some CSAs adjust payment to income, accept food stamp benefits, and allow some members to pay week to week.
