Maryland Snap EBT

Welcome to SNAP EBT information page for the state of Maryland.

The Food Supplement Program (FSP), Maryland’s name for SNAP, assists low-income Maryland households in purchasing the food they require for a nutritious diet.

Benefits are issued electronically on a card that, like a debit card, can be used to purchase qualified food at local grocery stores or anywhere EBT is accepted. The EBT card is known as the “Independence Card” in Maryland.
