About this role
Job title: SNAP Information Specialist
About the Role This page presents information about SNAP benefits and AARP Foundation's work to support older adults with food security. It reads as an informational resource rather than a traditional job posting, outlining eligibility, deductions, and grantmaking efforts to help seniors access SNAP.
What You'll Do
- Provide clear summaries of SNAP basics: eligibility for adults of all ages, including seniors and those with disabilities, and the types of benefits people receive.
- Guide users on how to apply for SNAP and how to maximize benefits in their state, including where to find the state application.
- Share information about the medical expense deduction and provide the related worksheet for calculating out-of-pocket medical expenses.
- Highlight AARP Foundation's role in SNAP grantmaking and partnerships with community organizations to help older adults with low income apply for SNAP.
- Reference webinars and FRAC-led discussions on strategies to support food-insecure older adults, including outreach and simplifying medical deductions.
- Emphasize tools and resources for improving food security, such as access to fresh produce, utilities, and transportation benefits supported by SNAP.
