SNAP Benefits are Changing Soon

SNAP Benefits are Changing Soon

Why is this change happening?

This change is happening because the State and Federal Public Health Emergency declaration that was in place due to COVID-19 is ending soon. With the end of this declaration, SNAP households will see a reduction in monthly benefits to the pre-pandemic amount.
