Rhode Island SNAP Benefits Disclosure

As a part of our high support model, Year Up United in Rhode Island may refer qualifying young adults to receive SNAP benefits. When implementing this program, Year Up United is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), religious creed, disability, age, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity accordance with federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies.

SNAP program information may be made available in languages other than English.  Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication to obtain program information (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language), should contact the agency (state or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
