GET HELP FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD
Sometimes it can take a while to get back on your feet.
Food and Nutrition Services (formerly called Food Stamps), may be able to help you buy food and free up resources for other items, such as utilities and medicine.
To receive FNS assistance, households must meet income limits. You may be able to get assistance even if you own a home, car, land, property, or have a retirement plan or money in the bank.
