Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP)

Henderson County D-SNAP Registration Ends Thursday, October 24 at 4:00pm

Those who pre-registered for D-SNAP in any of the 25 counties through ePASS.nc.gov by 4 p.m. on Oct. 24, 2024, but were unable to reach the call center to complete their interview, will receive a call from DSS officials by Nov. 1 to complete their application. NCDHHS asks those who have pre-registered to anticipate a call between now and Nov. 1 at the phone number they provided in the pre-registration application. The number calling may be from outside their local area code.

Electronic Benefits Transfer Card (EBT Card) 

Henderson County SNAP and D-SNAP Accepted Retailers 

Eligible households will be notified within three days of completing the application and receive a one-time benefit on a special debit card (called an Electronic Benefits Transfer, or EBT card) to help buy food. The exact amount will depend on household size, income and disaster losses. While there are income eligibility standards, a number of considerations are taken into account.

The benefits are good for up to nine months. Benefit cards will be available for pick up at the D-SNAP locations in the county or you can get the EBT card mailed to you overnight at the address you specify on your application.
