How Can A Person Apply?
You may apply for food stamps at the local department of social services the same day you request an application, however, your interview may be held later.  You may also mail, fax or e-mail your application, to the extent the agency can receive it.

Applications for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or General Relief, are considered an application for food stamps, unless you request otherwise.

If all members have applied for or get Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you may also apply for food stamps at the local Social Security office.
