SNAP Benefits Advising

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps people buy the food they need for good health.

SNAP food benefits are put on a Lone Star Card and can be used just like a credit card at any store that accepts SNAP. People also can buy garden seeds with SNAP benefits. Learn more about buying food online with SNAP.

Eligibility

Most SNAP eligibility rules such as income and resource limits apply to all households, but there are some special rules for students attending an institution of higher education described here.

Application Assistance

If you need assistance with your SNAP Benefits application, UT Outpost, along with a team of student support staff can help navigate the process.

Schedule an appointment with a UT staff member for a SNAP Benefits advising session. Please take a look at Form H1858, Student Eligibility Requirements, and bring any supportive documents you may have to your appointment.
