3SquaresVt (formerly the Food Stamp Program) helps Vermonters stretch their food budgets. With a new name and expanded eligibility, more Vermont seniors than ever may qualify. Eligible participants will receive a plastic card that looks like a credit card (called an Electronic Benefits Transfer or EBT card) which can be used at most grocery stores, convenience stores, farmers markets and community based co-ops. If everyone in the household is 65 years or older, 3SquaresVT benefits may be deposited directly into a bank account.
To find out if you may be eligible and to get an application, visit www.vermontfoodhelp.com or call the Senior Helpline at 1-800-642-5119.
