South Carolina Snap EBT

Welcome to SNAP EBT information page for the state of South Carolina.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled with cash assistance to buy the food they need for a nutritionally adequate diet.

Over 400,000 households in South Carolina rely on SNAP each month to buy the food they require for good health. Benefits from SNAP increase a person’s or family’s purchasing power at the food shop.

The benefits will lower the amount of money that must be utilized each month for groceries, but are not meant to cover all of a family’s food expenses. Families, individuals living alone, and those sharing a home with others use SNAP. Homeless people are also eligible for SNAP benefits.

Anyone may apply for SNAP benefits, although the program is intended to aid low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled, as well as those receiving public assistance who need food assistance the most.
