Arizona Snap EBT

Welcome to SNAP EBT information page for the state of Arizona.

Nutrition Assistance (which was previously the Food Stamp Program) is the Food and Nutrition Service’s (FNS) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Arizona. Nutrition Assistance provides eligible households with monthly benefits to purchase food.

If you have a limited income, this program will provide you with a special debit card with money on it to help you purchase food. The system adds monthly funds to your card.

The amount of money you receive may be dependent on three factors: the money you get from your employment or a program like Social Security, how many people you live with, and where you reside.

Most grocery stores and certain meal delivery services, such as Meals on Wheels, accept the card as payment.
