D-SNAP Approved for Some Areas of Terrebonne Parish Following Tropical Storm Arthur

D-SNAP operations have been approved for some areas in Terrebonne Parish following Tropical Storm Arthur. 

D-SNAP provides temporary food assistance to households that do not normally receive SNAP benefits but experienced disaster-related losses from Tropical Storm Arthur and meet income eligibility thresholds for the program. Eligible disaster areas for this D-SNAP are located within portions of Avoyelles, St. Landry, St. Tammany and Terrebonne parishes.

Who can apply for D-SNAP?

D-SNAP is available to eligible households that do not currently receive SNAP benefits and live in a designated area with damage resulting from Tropical Storm Arthur.

To determine eligibility, LDH will review the income your household received and the disaster-related expenses it paid during the disaster period of June 17 through July 16, 2026.

Because eligibility is based on designated disaster areas by census tracts, not everyone living in an eligible parish will qualify. Residents should use the online eligibility map and address lookup tool at D-SNAP Eligible Zip Codes and Census Tracts to determine whether their address is located in an eligible area before applying.

A general description of the eligible areas is provided below. However, because eligibility is determined by designated census tracts, residents should use the address lookup tool to confirm whether their specific address qualifies.

Eligible areas in Terrebonne Parish include portions of Gray, Schriever, Bayou Cane, eastern Houma, Bayou Blue, Bourg, Dulac, Theriot, and Montegut.

How to apply

Applications will be accepted July 27-31 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. by calling 1-888-524-3578.

Residents should apply according to the first letter of the primary applicant's last name.

Most applicants will learn whether they are approved during the interview. Approved households will receive an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card by mail.

Information for current SNAP recipients

Current SNAP recipients should not apply for D-SNAP.

Households located in the eligible census tracts that already receive SNAP benefits and are not already receiving the maximum monthly SNAP allotment will automatically receive a supplemental benefit to bring them to the maximum monthly allotment for one month. No application is required.

Important information

  • D-SNAP benefits are available only to eligible households that do not currently receive SNAP benefits.
  • Benefits must be used within 90 days of issuance. Any unused benefits remaining after 90 days will be removed from the EBT card.
  • Residents are encouraged to review eligibility requirements and gather any available documentation before applying.
