In Texas, this benefit is accessed through the Lone Star Card, similar to the EBT card used elsewhere in the United States. This card functions like a debit card and is accepted by any store that takes SNAP.
The program is designed to support those in low-income households, unemployed individuals, and adults without children aged 18 to 52. People in this last group may only receive benefits for up to three months within a three-year period unless they are enrolled in certain job or training programs.
However, this limitation does not apply to individuals with disabilities or pregnant women, who have other criteria for eligibility.
