HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE/FASTEST WAY TO GET SNAP?
QUESTION-What is the fastest way to apply and receive SNAP (food stamp) benefits?

ANSWER- It can take up to 30 days for the application, interview and benefits to be issued if a household is eligible for SNAP.
Some clients may be eligible for expedited service if they meet certain criteria such as: household has income of $150/month or less, household has rent/utility payments that are more than both cash on hand and in bank accounts, or client is a migrant farm worker and has less than $100.
Expedited service has a goal of getting an eligible household signed up and receiving benefits in 7 days, but this is not guaranteed.
Applicants need to establish a filing date as this starts the process and timeline for benefits.
Applicants establish a filing date once an application is submitted and received by the ODHS.
Applicants can submit a completed application or fill out the first two pages, only providing their name, address and signature.
An applicant's benefits will be calculated from that filing date if eligibility is determined.
