About Food and Cash Assistance
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a Food Assistance program in Colorado, formerly known as Food Stamps. SNAP provides food assistance benefits as part of a federal nutrition program to help low-income households purchase food. Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards are issued to receive the SNAP benefits for a household.

Colorado Works, also known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), provides a cash benefit to low-income families which include children (or a pregnancy). The program offers a wide array of supports including ongoing cash assistance, help with emergency expenses, education, job preparation and employment services.

Adult Financial Programs provide cash assistance to low-income Colorado residents under various programs. Old Age Pension (OAP) provides a cash benefit to low-income adults ages 60 years or older. Aid to the Needy Disabled – Colorado Supplement (AND-CS) provides cash assistance to those 0-59 years of age who are receiving SSI due to a disability or blindness but are not receiving the full SSI grant amount. Aid to the Needy Disabled – State Only (AND-SO) provides interim assistance for those aged 18-59 years with a disability that prevents them from working and who have not been approved for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Ratings and reviews

it doesn't show the cash benefit balance and since the new update it doesn't show the EBT balance either. I don't use the tabs because they usually don't work. I should be able to simply open the app and see my balances immediately. Instead, I have to call the toll free number for them. What is the use of having an app that does NOTHING? if I could give zero stars or negative stars I would. This used to be very useful. Now it's useless.

This app sucks, do not rely on it to turn in your redetermination paperwork or anything else. This is the second time it's failed me and left me without food and we all know just how fast the state is about fixing things or making corrections with their system. I'm not sure when I'll be getting food again. Thank you Colorado benefits app for leaving people that rely on your system without benefits.

When I go to check my benefits, it allows me to log in, but on the page where it is supposed to show my benefits is nothing but a blank white screen. I, at first, thought it was a loading issue, so after 5 minutes of leaving it, it's still a white screen. I'm not sure what the update did to it, but I can no longer check my benefits on the app.
