CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The state Department of Health and Human Resources says SNAP advantages will return to pre-pandemic ranges for households on March 1.
SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, elevated its allocation to needy households in April 2020 due to COVID-19. The month-to-month quantity was elevated to the utmost profit allowable. Beginning in March, the advantages will as soon as once more be based mostly on the family’s revenue, belongings, family measurement and different non-financial elements.
“We have been happy to have the ability to present this additional help in the course of the Public Health Emergency to fight starvation,” Janie Cole, Commissioner of DHHR’s Bureau for Family Assistance, mentioned. “We encourage SNAP recipients to start in the present day to funds their household’s advantages in preparation for this profit change.”
Each household receiving the advantages will obtain a letter from the DHHR.
Questions associated to SNAP could also be directed to DHHR’s Office of Constituent Services at 1-877-716-1212 or an area DHHR workplace.
