Eligibility

To be determined eligible for ESAP, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:

1. All household members are age 60 or over;
2. No household members receive earned income;
3. The household is not mandatory to receive SNAP benefits through Mississippi Combined Application Project (MSCAP).

All households meeting ESAP eligibility are mandatory for ESAP and are ineligible for the regular SNAP.
