Indiana SNAP sign-up event will take place during the Farmers Market Forum from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM EDT.

Markets and farmers who are interested in becoming an authorized SNAP retailer should bring the following items:

1. Picture ID (driver's license or passport)

2. Social Security Card (or other official documentation with your name and SSN)

3. Copy of voided check for bank account you will use to deposit funds

NOTE: 

If your market is managed by a non-profit you will need to bring your 501c3 status paperwork.

If your market is managed by a government/local institution, then a letter on government letterhead should be submitted stating that the local government will be managing and responsible for the farmer market.
