MLRI SNAP Outreach Flier for Rideshare, Delivery, and other Gig Workers - in English, Spanish, and Portuguese

We’ve received a number of questions about how self-employed individuals should report and verify their income when they apply SNAP benefits.  Rideshare and delivery workers include drivers with companies like Uber, Lyft, InstaCart, DoorDash, and app-based companies. Most drivers with these app-based companies are independent contractors, which means they are considered self-employed for SNAP and other means-tested benefits (like school meals, WIC, fuel assistance).
