Hawaii Snap EBT
Welcome to SNAP EBT information page for the state of Hawaii.
Hawaii SNAP, also referred to as food stamps, helps make nutritious food affordable for the state’s low-income citizens by offering monthly cash assistance.
Single parents, the elderly, people with impairments, and families receiving public assistance all receive priority.
The state permits residents to get SNAP benefits even if their annual income is up to 200% of the current poverty level in Hawaii. For a family of three, that costs around $4,415 each month.
EBT cards, which may be used at any grocery shop and for services like meals-on-wheels, are how SNAP benefits are distributed in Hawaii.
