TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Department of Children and Families (Department) Secretary Shevaun Harris announced a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) location will be open for Hamilton, Lafayette, and Suwannee counties on Sunday, October 15 through Tuesday, October 17 for applicants to complete their in-person interview on-site. D-SNAP provides food assistance for Florida residents impacted by Hurricane Idalia who are not receiving food assistance benefits through the regular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Individuals who reside or work in Hamilton, Lafayette, and Suwannee counties who pre-registered online but did not have a chance to complete their D-SNAP phone interview can visit the D-SNAP location for an in-person interview. In-person interviews are not required if a phone interview was completed.  
The Department will reopen pre-registration for individuals who reside or work in these counties and did not previously pre-register online. We encourage individuals to pre-register online before coming on-site to complete their interview. Online pre-registration will be available at www.myflfamilies.com/DSNAP from Sunday, October 15 through Tuesday, October 17.
