Applicants must file an application, be interviewed, and meet all financial and technical eligibility factors prior to issuance of SNAP benefits. Some people who have little or no money may qualify for Expedited SNAP benefits right away. They must have only an interview and verify identity.

File an application with your Local Department of Social Services. You may also file an application by mail, fax, or go to myMDTHINK to apply online.
