Moving to or from Indiana with SNAP
Moving TO Indiana
Indiana SNAP does not accept transferred cases from other states: every new Indiana resident applies fresh through Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Family Resources. There is no waiting period tied to how recently you arrived — eligibility is decided on Indiana's own income and household rules from the day you become a resident.
Leaving Indiana
Leaving Indiana ends your Indiana SNAP case — no state will take it over. Close the case with Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, Division of Family Resources effective your move month, then apply in your destination state immediately after arriving.
