*** UPDATE ***

NC FAST in Wake County

Wake County is transitioning all food and nutrition applications to North Carolina Families Accessing Services through Technology (NC FAST), new technology developed by North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NC FAST is designed to improve the way DHHS and the 100 counties distribute food and nutrition benefits.
 
Wake Food and Nutrition Services is experiencing a backlog in processing applications and recertifications in the new state system. The staff is working as quickly as possible to catch up, and we apologize for the delay. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
  • If you are eligible to receive benefits, you will receive backdated benefits.
  • We are working to process your applications and recertifications as quickly as possible, but if it takes longer than expected, you will receive benefits from the day your application or recertification was supposed to take effect.
  • If you have submitted an application, you do not need to call unless you need to update your contact information.
