Big changes are coming to SNAP benefits in Texas starting April 1. Lone Star Card users will no longer be able to purchase candy, gum, or many sugary drinks with their benefits.
SNAP is a government program that assists in grocery costs for individuals who may struggle with food insecurities and supplements residents so they can purchase the necessary nutritional items to lead a healthy life.
Texans in need of a little help with food costs can get up to $939 in benefits. Here's how you can figure out if you qualify, then apply for assistance.
