Transitional SNAP (TSNAP)

Transitional SNAP (TSNAP) formerly called Transitional Food Stamps (TFS), provides essential assistance to families transitioning from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. These benefits ensure that families move from cash assistance to employment with ease by providing continued support with food assistance without reporting requirements and the completion of paperwork for 5-consecutive months, allowing families to focus on gaining long-term stability.

Note: State Food/VTTC Cash households do not qualify for federal TSNAP benefits.
