Description of Program and Relief
Temporary Changes to Arizona’s Nutrition Assistance Program
The Nutrition Assistance program (formerly the Food Stamp Program) is Arizona’s program for the Food and Nutrition Service Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The program helps low-income individuals and families buy food for a healthier diet.
Governor Ducey and the Department of Economic Security have submitted several requests to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service to implement program changes to strengthen food security among Arizonans during the COVID-19 crisis. As of April 9, 2020, the federal agency has authorized the following changes:
-
Waiving interview requirements when determining eligibility, unless more information is needed from the applicant;
-
Temporarily suspending work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents;
-
Increasing benefits to the maximum allotment for two months due to pandemic-related economic conditions;
-
Extending certification periods by 6 months for recipients due to renew benefits in March, April, and May;
-
Allowing participants to purchase hot and prepared food sold in grocery stores; and
-
Allowing participants to use benefits for online food purchases from Walmart and Amazon.
