Once preregistered, residents can call the D-SNAP call center for an interview at 888-348-0408 or 855-278-7136 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The phone interviews will be held on the following days, dependent upon the resident’s last name:

- O-Z: Saturday, Oct. 29

The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) will host in-person D-SNAP events for residents who cannot preregister online or conduct a phone interview. The details of the events are forthcoming.
The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) provides food assistance for residents impacted by Hurricane Ian. Eligible residents will receive an electronic benefit transfer card by mail that can be used to purchase food at United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food retailers.
D-SNAP is for residents not already receiving assistance through the regular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Applicants must have been living or working in Volusia County during Hurricane Ian and suffered a disaster-related loss such as damage to their home or self-employment property, loss of food, reduction or loss of income, or other disaster-related expenses. An applicant must meet income eligibility.
In partnership with the USDA, D-SNAP is being implemented by DCF.
