The federal government has implemented new work requirements that impact how long certain SNAP recipients can receive benefits.
Here’s what you need to know to protect your SNAP benefits.
The PA Department of Human Services is aware of scams targeting SNAP recipients, claiming that SNAP benefits will be delayed unless you provide your PIN. PA DHS will never contact you by phone or ask for your PIN or personal information.
The City of Philadelphia established the One Philly SNAP Support Program to support Philadelphia residents with access to food, emergency rental assistance, emergency revenue replacement, and a temporary payment deferral program. Organizations are encouraged to apply for funding to help feed Philadelphians experiencing food insecurity. Learn about the funding opportunity and how to apply.
Call the BenePhilly Helpline at (800) 994-5537. The helpline staff at Clarifi will ask a few questions to figure out which BenePhilly center is right for you. Then, you will be transferred to the appropriate location.
BenePhilly centers are located at the community-based organizations below. Please call ahead to schedule an appointment.
