Michigan Snap EBT

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

The USDA and the State of Michigan’s DHS collaborated to create the Food Assistance Program (FAP) in Michigan with the goal of assisting low-income families, the elderly, and people with disabilities to purchase a sufficient amount of nourishing food.

All able-bodied SNAP participants in Michigan between the ages of 18 and 50 who are not supporting any dependents must meet special job requirements through unsubsidized, unpaid, or in-kind employment. If not, benefits can only be received for a maximum of three months every 36 months.
