PRE-APPLICATION

For more information, call: 1-888-LA-HELP-U (1-888-524-3578)

Low- to moderate-income Louisiana residents may be eligible for Disaster Food Stamp benefits in the event of a natural disaster. Exact eligibility requirements for Disaster Food Stamp benefits are announced at the time of a disaster. Current Food Stamp recipients who are eligible for additional benefits will receive them automatically. However, all low- to moderate-income Louisianans who do not currently receive Food Stamps are encouraged to pre-apply for Disaster Food Stamp benefits online or by phone. Pre-applying will speed the issuance of benefits if a Disaster Food Stamp Program is activated and the applicant meets eligibility requirements. After a disaster, applicants will need to visit a Disaster Food Stamp Program site, show identification and provide or confirm application information. Applicants will have their eligibility determined at a Disaster Food Stamp Program site, and will receive benefits if determined eligible.

Pre-apply online at dss. or by calling
