How to Add a Newborn to SNAP
Contact the Case Worker
Gather the Documents
Fax, Mail, or Make an Appointment

Content: Contacting your case worker may be simple or it may be incredibly difficult depending on their case load. Assuming you can reach them, they will guide you through the rest of the process. If you are unable to reach them you will need to take a few more proactive steps. Gather the Documents
In order to add your newborn to SNAP you will need certain documents from the hospital. The first is the proof of birth. This may or may not be the official birth certificate, however it will convey the information on your child and the fact the baby was born to you. This will prove that you are not trying to scam the system and that the baby does in fact exist. Other documents may be required such as social security paperwork or, in some states, Medicaid paperwork. If anything has changed, such as your address, you will need to supply documentation of that as well. Fax, Mail, or Make an Appointment
When you have the required documents that either the case worker, state website, or administration of the SNAP office told you to obtain then you can move forward.
