Nebraska SNAP (Food Assistance)
Last updated: June 14, 2026
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps eligible low-income Nebraska households afford groceries each month through an EBT card. SNAP is administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
What is Nebraska SNAP?
SNAP provides monthly food benefits to help eligible households buy groceries. Benefits load onto an EBT card that works like a debit card at participating stores. The amount varies based on household size, income, and certain expenses.
Who may be eligible?
Eligibility depends on household size, income, and resources. Nebraska compares your gross and net monthly income to federal limits and considers deductions such as housing and dependent care. Many working families, older adults, and people with disabilities qualify.
How to apply in Nebraska
