ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
We are proud to announce that
the Senior Farmers Market
Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is
available in all 67 counties
this year. The Farmers Market
Authority (FMA) contracts with
Area Agencies on Aging to issue
benefits to eligible seniors.
For specific issuance
information, please call
1-877-774-9519 or
1-800-243-5463. There is no
application process; individuals
meeting the eligibility criteria
below are qualified to receive
the benefits. However, no person
is “entitled” to SFMNP checks;
as the budget does not allow
enough checks to satisfy
everyone who wishes to receive
them and is eligible. Issuance
is on a first come-first serve
basis until a county’s allotted
books are issued.
