What benefits are available through D-SNAP?
• Eligible recipients who participate in the telephonic D-SNAP event will receive an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card by mail that can be used to purchase food at authorized USDA food retailers.
• The EBT card cannot be used for alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, or non-food items.
The Florida Department of Children and Families will hold in-person D-SNAP events for residents who cannot pre-register online. On-site locations will be announced soon. If you are able, please monitor their website, MyFLFamilies.com/DSNAP, for that information.
We strongly suggest residents find a way to pre-register online. If you don’t have access to the internet, you can visit our local library to use a computer to pre-register online between Nov. 11-15.
