If your family relies on SNAP food benefits to maintain food on the table, your top concern is undoubtedly the amount of benefits you can expect this year. You may also be worried about the possible effects on you of the government’s budget negotiations.
The good news is that Congress cannot simply stop financing SNAP; it is a required program. However, certain individuals’ eligibility for SNAP has already been altered by the negotiations. Furthermore, there may be delays in your payments if the government closes down due to political dispute over expenditure.
Every fiscal year, SNAP payments are modified to reflect variations in living expenses. Since October is when the fiscal year begins, you are already getting the higher benefit.
