BROCHURES

Brochures on the Food Stamp Program with important information for older adults:

The Eat Better Today poster simply describes how people may use the new Electronic Benefit System (EBT) system to redeem their food stamp benefits.

The Good Health Starts with Good Nutrition brochure helps seniors to link food stamps with the need for good nutrition in order to maintain good health. It also gives a simple overview of how an older adult would apply for and use their food stamp benefits at the grocery store.

The Food Stamp Facts for Seniors brochure lists nine facts that encourage older adults to apply for food stamp benefits. This flyer is customized with average monthly food stamp allotments for both Upstate NY and New York City.

The Standard Utility Allowance (SUA) brochure describes how people who live in public or subsidized housing and pay an extra fee for running their appliances may be eligible for a raise in their food stamp benefits.

The Your Rights brochure lists people’s rights and responsibilities when they apply for and receive food stamp benefits.

The NYS Nutrition Improvement Project (NYSNIP) flyer describes how those people who live alone and receive SSI benefits will receive food stamp benefits through NYSNIP. It also provides a statewide list of local NOEP contacts for people who have questions. The synopsis and desk guide provides a more in-depth overview of NYSNIP for senior service providers.
