Wyoming SNAP

SNAP provides Wyoming’s low-income families with cash benefits to help pay for food, offering crucial support as they move from welfare to work.

As a condition of eligibility, all SNAP recipients in Wyoming ages 16—59 who aren’t exempt are required to work at least 30 hours per week to receive SNAP benefits.

ABAWDs must comply with special work rules or they will be subject to a three-month time limit on SNAP receipt.
