TSAP BENEFITS

TSAP BENEFITS

The Texas Simplified Application Project (TSAP) is a new program specifically designed to help Texas seniors (over 60) and Texans with disabilities to save money on groceries.

What Is The Texas Simplified Application Project (TSAP)?

TSAP provides Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits to Texas households where all household members are either older adults (age 60 and older) or people with disabilities. Benefit amounts are based on income and household size.
