Collapse ▲As the cost of everything rises many Americans find themselves struggling to make ends meet. North Carolina State University in partnership with N.C. Cooperative Extension has developed the program More In My Basket (MIMB) which helps reduce food insecurity by connecting North Carolina residents to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP is a federal food assistance program (formerly called Food Stamps), and in North Carolina, the program is called Food and Nutrition Services (FNS).
In an effort to educate more citizens about their eligibility for benefits, how to cut food costs, and how to create a food budget. Additionally, state staff can help you complete your benefits application for SNAP.
One of the best resources available for North Carolinians is More In My Basket (MIMB). MIMB is an NC State Extension program that offers free consultations over the phone for anybody interested in learning more about SNAP or who needs assistance applying.
Assistance is available in three different languages Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Call today toll free: 1-855-240-1451 (English and Portuguese) or 1-888-382-7105 (Spanish)
The folks at MIMB can help with some of the following questions and much more:
Am I Eligible for SNAP?
The following requirements may help you determine if you are likely-eligible for SNAP benefits. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions about your eligibility. If you determine you are not likely-eligible for SNAP, MIMB staff would be happy to provide you with additional local food resources.
General Requirements:
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, or have another eligible immigration status. International students are not eligible for SNAP/FNS.
Applicants must meet residency requirements.
Applicants must have a monthly income equal to or below the SNAP/FNS program limits.
Income Limits:
All households must meet an income test to receive benefits, and the income limits vary by household size. Eligibility workers at your local county Department of Social Services (DSS) will help you determine which income limit applies to your household. Eligibility workers will also evaluate other criteria, such as household composition, resources, and citizenship/immigration status to determine eligibility.
