Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP)

NEW: When renewing or applying for Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), you must provide verification of expenses such as shelter, utilities, daycare and medical. DHS staff must receive this information before an allowable deduction can be used in determining a SNAP allotment. Acceptable verification includes a lease agreement, landlord statement, utility bill, daycare receipt, or medical bill. If you have questions, please call 757-385-4306.

SNAP funds can be used by recipients like cash to buy eligible food items from authorized retailers. Authorized retailers will display either the Quest logo or a picture of a Virginia EBT card.​
