I'm assuming that snap benefits are some form of government entitlement programs such as welfare or food stamps. If my assumption is correct and this is some type of government entitlement program, then the answer is no. You cannot file bankruptcy against the federal government.
I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
