If your child is already eligible through programs like SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid, benefits will be automatically issued to your existing household EBT card.
If you know you qualify, no action is needed-this message is for your information only.
If your family needs to apply, applications open May 17 at www.AccessNevada.nv.gov.
Details are provided in the flyers on our website.
