Tennessee Snap EBT
Welcome to SNAP EBT information page for the state of Tennessee.
Tennessee SNAP helps eligible families’ monthly food budgets so they can buy the food they need to be healthy.
Children, the elderly, those with disabilities, those who are unemployed, and low-income working families who struggle to put food on the table are the main beneficiaries of SNAP.
The program provides electronic benefits that can be spent in most grocery stores or anywhere EBT is recognized. Food for people and plants and/or seeds to grow food are acceptable purchases.
