Enroll in FoodShare
Before starting FSET, you need to enroll in FoodShare. You may know it as food stamps, QUEST card, EBT, your food card, or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). In Wisconsin, these are all other words for FoodShare.
FoodShare helps people of all ages who have lower-income jobs, live on small or fixed incomes, are retired, have lost their jobs, or are disabled and can’t work.
Do you need to meet a FoodShare work requirement?
If you’re a FoodShare member between ages 16 and 54 with no children living in your home, you may need to meet a work requirement to keep your benefits. Learn about the three main ways to meet this requirement or see if you qualify for an exemption.
