Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is an electronic benefit that the State of New York offers elderly residents, low-income residents and a variety of people in need. With a SNAP card you are able to buy food such as meat, fish, bread, fruits and vegetables.

A family of 4, for example, could reach a maximum monthly benefit of $939 each month. That is roughly $60 per person each week. Now imagine someone steals your card and you have no money for food.
