The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) has informed local counties that replacement benefits for stolen SNAP funds are no longer available. This change went into effect on Dec. 20, 2024, due to the passage of a federal spending bill that did not renew funding. Clients with concerns about this change are encouraged to contact their federal representatives, as the decision was made at the national level.
To see if you may be eligible, or to check current benefits, visit Colorado PEAK.
About SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income households in purchase food. It provides a monthly benefit that helps families and individuals buy the food they need for good health.
Eligibility for food assistance, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is determined by income limits set by the Federal Government. The assistance funds vary depending upon the household. The determined amount is put into an account that is accessed with an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, also known as a Colorado Quest card. This card can then be used to make purchases.
