Program Description
The Food Stamp Program helps people with little or no money buy enough food for healthy meals. It does this by providing people
with food stamp benefits, which can be used to buy food at participating stores. Food Stamp benefits increase the household's food
buying power when they are added to the household's money.
Food stamp benefits will be deposited into a food stamp benefit account for you each month. You will receive an Electronic Benefit
Transfer (EBT) card and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the mail to access your food stamp benefits. You may use your
EBT card to purchase almost any food item, except ready-to-eat hot foods.
The Kentucky Cabinet runs the Food Stamp Program for Families and Children.
