How do you cancel your food stamps?

The process to cancel food stamps varies from state to state, but in most cases the first step is to contact your department of social services - either via phone or in person - and talk to a representative about why you want to cancel your food stamps.

Before contacting your state's department of social services, it is helpful to time your cancellation request before you are given new food stamps. Some states may not be able to cancel food stamps after they have been given. Be sure to have specific reasons for why you need to cancel your benefits and be ready to explain those reasons to a representative at the department of social services.
