The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income people and families buy the food they need to help them achieve good health. Benefits are administered by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) and provided on the Illinois Link Card – an electronic card that looks and works like a debit card at most grocery stores and some farmer’s markets and online grocery delivery services.
The (Women, Infants and Children) WIC program provides supplemental food assistance designed to meet the special nutritional needs of pregnant, breastfeeding, non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and infants and children up to five years of age who are at nutritional risk. WIC is a supplemental benefit, which means the patient must have a child or children under the age of 5. It is not included with the SNAP benefits.
