SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
SNAP is a federally-funded program that provides nutrition benefits to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families so they can purchase healthy food. Individuals receiving SNAP benefits can pay for food with an electronic benefits card (EBT) which looks and works much like a debit card. EBT cards can be used to purchase food at supermarkets, convenience stores, and other locations.

Eligibility for SNAP depends on factors such as your income, the number of people in your household, resources such as bank accounts, and benefits such as Social Security and unemployment. Certain non-citizens, such as those admitted into the US for humanitarian reasons, may be eligible for the program.

AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System)

The ArizonaHealth Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) is Arizona’s Medicaid program, a health care program funded by the federal and state governments for individuals and families who qualify based on their income level. The program provides medical insurance coverage for common healthcare needs, such as doctor visits, physical exams, immunizations, hospital care, and prescriptions. Approximately 1.9 million low-income Arizonans are currently covered under AHCCCS.

In order to qualify for AHCCCS, you must be an Arizona resident who meets the monthly income eligibility requirements. You must be a US citizen or a non-citizen who meets certain criteria.

KidsCare – Arizona’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

This program was created to help families who exceed income limits established by AHCCCS but can’t afford to pay for their children’s health insurance. Under KidsCare, children can receive routine check-ups, immunizations, dental care, and many other services.

To be eligible, children must be under 19 years old, a US citizen or a qualified immigrant and an Arizona resident. Children must be without health insurance coverage for at least 90 days before they can get KidsCare, but here are some exceptions to this rule.

Monthly premiums are based on a family’s income and size and typically range from $10 to $70 per child. Per federal law, Native Americans enrolled with a federally recognized tribe and certain Alaskan Natives are exempt from a monthly premium subject to proof of tribal enrollment.
