Electronic Benefit Transfer, or EBT, is the new method by which the government provides money-for-food under the federal food stamps program.

The Wyoming Department of Family Services under the Economic Assistance Division supports the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. USDA federally funds the SNAP program along with the Wyoming Department of Family Services. Together, these agencies support thousands of families during financial hardships.

Food stamp programs are beneficial to low income families who need to provide healthy food options to their families.

Each month, recipients can use their benefits with a Wyoming Card, which is an EBT card that works like a debit card at grocery stores and super markets. There are specific eligibility requirements to be accepted into SNAP, but anyone can apply.

Eligibility:

Eligibility is based on your income and household size mainly, but there are also other factors. You must be a U.S. citizen and resident of Wyoming. You must also provide the social security numbers of those living in your household, who must also be U.S. citizens. Persons on strike or non-U.S. citizens are not eligible to receive food stamps through SNAP.

Office hours:

8 a.m.-5 p.m.
