According to vibes.okdiario The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) is available to help families in Florida affected by natural disasters. If you’re eligible, you can apply for benefits to assist with food costs during challenging times. The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) is offering D-SNAP for residents in certain counties, but time is running out.
D-SNAP Pre-Registration Deadline: November 8
For counties such as Sarasota, Polk, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, Hernando, and Charlotte, pre-registration for D-SNAP benefits is open until November 8, with the deadline at 11:59 p.m. If you’re eligible, it’s important to complete your registration as soon as possible, as high traffic could cause delays closer to the deadline.
