Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program:

The purpose of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is to alleviate hunger and malnutrition among low-income households by increasing their food purchasing power. Eligible households who apply receive a monthly benefit to supplement their food budget. Households can redeem their allotment for food items by using an Electronic Benefits Transaction (EBT) card, which works similar to a debit or credit card. To find out more about what you can and cannot purchase with SNAP benefits here. For any additional information such as when your food assistance benefits will be deposited onto your EBT card or to find out FAQs.

Colorado’s Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program, also known as Colorado Works, provides financial assistance, job preparation and skills to needy families with children on a temporary basis, to achieve economic and family stability. The amount of financial aid provided is based on family size, income, resources and ages of the children. TANF recipients may receive benefits for no longer than 60 months. During this 60 month time limit, participants are required to participate in work activities.
