SNAP
Program Details
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is designed to promote better nutrition for low-income families by increasing their food purchasing power. If you live in Dinwiddie County, you would apply at our office. Applications are available at our office during regular office hours of Monday - Friday, 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, or we will mail an application to you the day of your request. Applications may also be downloaded from the Virginia Department of Social Services or at Common Help.
Each application is screened for entitlement to emergency service. If your application is screened as an emergency, eligibility will be determined within seven days. Regular processing is 30 days from the date of application.
Eligibility
Eligibility for SNAP and the amount of the allotment varies according to the number of eligible household members, income, resources, deductions, and other eligibility factors.
SNAP allotments are based on the date that the agency receives your application. If you think you may be eligible, you should file your application immediately.
