Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP)  benefits for residents of Nueces, Aransas, San Patricio and Refugio Counties will be available starting today and residents can continue to apply until next Monday, September 25.

Residents of these counties must go to the designated location on the correct day. The application process is organized by the first letter of a person's last name. You can find a list of locations and dates to apply below. Locations will be open daily from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Displaced residents from one of the now 18 counties receiving D-SNAP who cannot travel back to their home county can go to any local HHS benefits office in the state to apply.

D-SNAP benefits are available to eligible people who are residents of one of the counties with a federal disaster declaration who weren't receiving benefits through regular SNAP at the time of the disaster. Recipients will be given a Lone Star Card that will be loaded within three days with funds to purchase food from most grocery stores.
