The Wyoming Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP Wyoming) is a federal program that provides nutrition assistance to low-income individuals and families. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program aims to assist households undergoing financial crisis by issuing an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that can be used to purchase nutritious food. The program has specific rules regarding the types of foods that can be purchased using SNAP benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefit amounts vary by state and are largely determined by recipients’ income, minus certain expenses, and household size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maximum amount of SNAP benefits is based on the Thrifty Food Plan, an estimate by the U.S. Department of Agriculture of how much it costs to buy groceries needed to provide a “nutritious, practical, cost-effective diet” for a family of two adults and two children.<\/p>\n\n\n
