Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) Open to People Affected by Hurricane Harvey
The state of Texas is offering short-term food assistance to families who were affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Under the Disaster SNAP program, people can receive benefits when they return to their homes and have access to power and grocery stores after a disaster. The amount of the food allowance depends on household size and is equal to two months of the maximum amount of SNAP benefits — the amount will be loaded onto a Lone Star Card.
Recipients must be from a county that was declared a federal disaster area. The program requires a person to apply only at a designated D-SNAP location within their county.
