Looking for FoodShare/SNAP Benefits? We do not process those applications. The State of Wisconsin does.
We suggest you follow this external link to find out if you’re eligible based on your income. Then visit the ACCESS website to learn about and apply for Wisconsin state benefits like FoodShare as well as BadgerCare, Medicare, Medicaid. Choose “Apply for Benefits” on their website. You can see what health, nutrition, and other benefits or programs you may be able to get based on the information you provide. This Guide for Applying for WI Benefits can help.
