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

I do have the most current version. The problem is on your end. This app is taking up needed space and data on my phone. It's not letting me do anything. Edit - Finally got into my account after several tries. Started preparing app for deletion. Before I deleted, I gave it another chance and it worked. Clear your storage and cache people! It's will work.

This app never works. I have to uninstall it so many times. I've had to change my password a few times or more like try to. Finally it let me. After quite a few times trying. And now it gets stuck on loading when I try to sign in. Wth ... its supposed to be easier no? I put 2 stars only because for a small while it was actually working. I never write reviews but I had to.

Not fast, but it is helpful so far. I have forgot my password for my benefits as it has been years since I signed up. My big problem is that it is going so slow, I had the app send me a code to reset my password (it's been 3 or 4 minutes since I had the code sent) and the code still hasn't arrived in my inbox. What gives? UPDATE: I got the code and the app is saying it's incorrect. I don't have the time for this mess, the app has been deleted already. ☺👍
