Millions Can Apply for Food Stamps
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] must be applied for by low-income households in order to receive benefits. According to the USDA, 42 million Americans are receiving SNAP assistance. In times of hardship, the government program guarantees that families may still enjoy nutritious and wholesome meals.
Food items such as fruits, vegetables, dairy goods, meat, fish, bread, and cereals may be purchased using a pre-loaded card provided by the program. E-debit cards that may be used at more than 238,000 grocery stores throughout the country are the method of delivery of the benefit.
Moreover, on October 1, food assistance was boosted by $36 per person to $157 per month. However, the amount of food stamps you get will depend on the size of your household and the state in which you reside.
According to the USDA, New Yorkers would get an additional $120 per month in SNAP benefits as a result of the new hike. Oregon, on the other hand, receives an additional $337 in benefits, which amounts to an additional $28 a month. It’s projected that SNAP families would spend around 30% of the money they earn on food.
