About
SNAP Screener
The mission of this website and SNAP prescreener is to help connect individuals to SNAP benefits and to make SNAP eligibility data more accessible.
This website is run by Ben Molin and Andreas Vandris to create SNAP technology resources for individuals and anti-hunger organizations.
We have reviewed SNAP policy manuals from every state in order to build one tool that is accessible nationwide and adaptable to changes in SNAP policy. The calculator supports eligibility screening for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, households where some members are not U.S. citizens, benefit changes due to the pandemic, and full Spanish translation.
The original prototype this project is based on was created by 18F, a government organization. This project has no affiliation with 18F, instead building on top of the code they started. This website is not affiliated with any government organization or SNAP program. Please see the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
