No one is entitled to Senior Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) checks because 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 all available funds are expended.
To qualify for SFMNP, the following age and income criteria must be met in order to receive SFMNP coupons.
A person must be 60 years of age or older on the day of application, no one under age 60 is eligible.
