SNAP, formally known as food stamps, provides food assistance to low-income individuals and households experiencing food insecurity. In order to qualify for SNAP, participants need to be at or below 130% of the poverty level. Funds are loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card that individuals can use like a credit or debit card. In Utah, this card is known as the Horizon Card. SNAP is a federally funded program of USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). In Utah, SNAP is administered by the Department of Workforce Services. Annually, SNAP helps more than 74,000 Utah households put food on the table.
