Food Aid Program Temporary food aid for eligible families and low-income individuals is available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Eligibility is based on the financial situation of all members in a household.
Anyone who lives together and buys and prepares food together is considered to be a member of the same family group.
The best way to determine eligibility and apply is online using MI Bridges. Applications can be delivered by hand, by post or faxed to our local office.

EBT is the US government\s electronic based system in the US for payment of monies to those approved for food and cash benefit payments.

Check EBT Card Balance
States have their methods to log in and check your ETB balance online. We provide that information on our state pages.

Apply for EBT Card
Most states allow online applications for EBT Cards through the application for Food Stamps (SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or cash benefits through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). We provided this local office contact for those who want to apply for their EBT in person at this office. After applying for your benefits you will most likely need to come in for an interview at this or another local social service office.
