SNAP Offers Vital Support Through Food Vouchers
Application Deadline Approaches for 2024 Benefits
(According to The U.S. Sun), thousands of American households now have the chance to apply for food vouchers worth at least $291 through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) managed by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service. This program helps low-income families by adding to their grocery budgets ensuring they can access nutritious food for their health. Starting October 1, 2023 eligible applicants can receive financial help using Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards (EBTs) which are loaded monthly based on household size and income.
To qualify for SNAP households must meet specific criteria based on their income and resources which vary depending on family size. For instance a single-person household must earn less than $1,580 gross monthly income to qualify. The deadline to apply for 2024 benefits is September 30 prompting eligible individuals to apply soon to get support for the rest of the year. Recipients of SNAP benefits must reapply periodically to maintain their eligibility.
