Currently, around‌ 1.84 million ⁤people in Pennsylvania,⁢ accounting for 14% of the state’s population, receive SNAP benefits. On average, each household member receives $182 per month ⁢to help cover their food expenses.

SNAP benefits are distributed through an electronic benefits transfer card, similar to a⁤ debit card.⁢ This card can be used at participating grocery stores, farmers markets, and select online retailers.

In certain circumstances, such as homelessness or the inability to cook, SNAP benefits can also be used at participating restaurants and Meals on Wheels kitchens.
