SNAP accounts are linked to EBT cards, which are loaded monthly with your benefit amount during a set length of time called a certification period.
Tennessee residents may qualify for SNAP if they meet certain eligibility criteria. Residents must pass an income and resource test, plus additional requirements. The amount of benefits you receive depends on your household’s resources and living situation.
Most able-bodied residents between 16 and 59 years old must also register for work, participate in the Employment & Training Program if offered, accept offers of employment and cannot quit a job.
College students can also receive SNAP benefits. However, they must be working an average of 20 hours per week, be enrolled in work-study, caring for young dependents or receiving Families First, the state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
The TDHS also provides replacement SNAP benefits through the Disaster Related Emergency Assistance program. D-SNAP is available to SNAP families who suffered losses due to severe weather which may have caused a power outage of 12 hours or more — or who lost food due to a household misfortune.
