SNAP provides monthly benefits that help low-income households buy the food they need for good health. For most families, SNAP funds cover a portion of their monthly food budget, and additional funds are used to buy enough food to last through the month.

How it Works:

• SNAP sends a special debit card with money on it to help families buy food
• Money is added to the card by SNAP every month
• The card can be used at most grocery stores, Walmart, Amazon, and some meal delivery services like Meals on Wheels

Some child care facilities in Wyoming are license-exempt (they don’t require providers to be licensed) because they meet these exemptions:

• They are caring for two or fewer children they are not related to
• They occasionally care for the child of a neighbor or friend
• Parents are exchanging care
• They are coming to the family’s home to provide care
• Their facility is supervised by the state, local government, or school district

This video discusses the importance of child care licensing outside of the circumstances listed above.

The Department of Family Services’ Child Care Subsidy Program helps families pay for the cost of care while the parents are involved in activities such as searching for employment, working, in school, or in training.

Families are free to choose a child care arrangement that best fits their needs, as long as the selected provider meets health and safety standards.
