Residents of 13 Kentucky counties impacted by the April 2 catastrophic flooding, landslides and mudslides that caused structural damage and profound losses are eligible for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, approved May 2, 2025, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.
D-SNAP applications will be accepted from May 7, 2025, through May 14, 2025, excluding Sunday, May 11, 2025.
The D-SNAP program offers short-term food help to individuals and families in counties that receive a federal disaster declaration that includes individual assistance. President Donald J. Trump issued a major disaster declaration in Kentucky on April 25.
Persons residing or working in the following thirteen counties are eligible to apply for D-SNAP assistance: Anderson, Butler, Carroll, Christian, Clark, Franklin, Hardin, Hopkins, Jessamine, McCracken, Mercer, Owen and Woodford.
Additionally, residents receiving SNAP benefits or DSNAP benefits in approved counties can purchase hot, prepared food at authorized retailers with their benefits until May 31, 2025.
Residents receiving SNAP benefits can request and apply for a replacement of benefits due to power outages and other impacts. Any SNAP recipient can request replacement and/or supplement of benefits whenever food purchased with SNAP benefits is destroyed due to a household disaster.
Prospective applicants should call the Department for Community-Based Services’ call center for D-SNAP at 855-306-8959; this is the fastest way to receive benefits. Applications will be taken by phone Monday–Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. EDT. Applications may be made at a DCBS office at the addresses below, Monday–Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local time.
