The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a program that helps you pay for food. In Minnesota, this program used to be called Food Support or Food Stamps.
The program does not use Food Stamps anymore. Instead, you get a plastic card called an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. The EBT card looks and works like a debit card. Minnesota puts money on the EBT card each month. You use the card to pay for food, just the way you would use a debit card.
