What are Food Stamps?
The purpose of the Food Stamp Program is to improve nutrition and health. It helps low income
households buy the food they need for a nutritionally adequate diet. The program is authorized by
Congress and is State supervised and administered by the local county welfare agency.
How to apply...
The application process includes completing and filing an application form, a face to face interview with
the head of household or a designate, and verification of information on the application. Applications
may be filed in person, faxed, by mail or through an authorized representative. Expedited service is
available to households that meet specific criteria. Households in which all members are applicants for
or recipients of SSI, may apply for Food Stamps at the Social Security District office at the same time
you apply for SSI.
What is the Food Stamp Screening Tool?
This tool allows you to enter some very basic eligibility requirements for the Food Stamp Program,
calculates your possible eligibility for Food Stamps and provides you with an estimated Food Stamp
allotment.
Who created it?
The Food stamp tool was developed by Mercer Street Friends in conjuction with Mercer County Board
of Social Services. Recently, these organizations generously donated this tool for NJ Department of
Human Services in order to make it accessible to the residents of New Jersey.
