SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.

It provides electronic benefits that help families to buy groceries in diverse grocery stores.

The Department of Agriculture is in charge of the SNAP program. You need to check several boxes to apply and wait.

What if my SNAP application is pending?

Applying for SNAP benefits could take longer than expected.

It is hard to follow the process or know if the applicants submit everything they needed.

According to the same SNAP program, applicants would receive an answer to the process within 30 days or sooner.

Nevertheless, if your application is "pending" or undecided after the month of waiting, you should contact your local state office.
