FSSA

Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance (FSSSA) is a voluntary financial benefits program for military families intended to increase a service member's income in order to remove their household from eligibility for SNAP benefits (formerly the food stamp program).  Active and Reserve Component members on active duty with multiple family members meeting the income-eligibility requirements may participate in the FSSA program.  A member must be entitled to BAS or partial BAS to be considered eligible for FSSA.

Eligibility is based on the income for all members of the household and the number of people living in the household.  Members can receive up to $1,100 per month.  Go to:  https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/fssa/ to see if you qualify.  If you do, complete and print the application and bring the form to your local Army Community Service office for further assistance.
