My Food Assistance Benefits Worksheet
DOWNLOADOctober 3, 2018 - Michigan State University Extension
Use the My Food Assistance Benefits Worksheet to help track your food dollars.
The My Food Assistance Benefits Worksheet helps you stay organized and make the most of the federal, state, and or community food benefits that you receive.
Fill in the worksheet with details about each program you use.
Keep it handy so you always know:
- When each benefit can be used
- The type and amount of benefit you receive
- What foods are allowed
- Whether the benefit offers fresh, shelf‑stable, or both types of foods
Use with the Food Planning Calendar
Use the My Food Assistance Benefits Worksheet together with the Food Planning Calendar to stretch your benefits and prevent waste. These two resources can help you plan when to use each benefit so you don’t run out too early in the month, and don’t forget about benefits that expire if they aren’t used in time.
