Those Who Qualify Can Now Pre-apply for Disaster Food Stamps
All low- to moderate-income Louisianians may be eligible for Disaster Food Stamp benefits in the event of a natural disaster and can now pre-apply for benefits online or by phone. For more information, see this page from the Louisiana Department of Social Services:

To begin the application procedure, see this page:

Current Food Stamp recipients do not need to pre-apply and would receive disaster benefits automatically.
