Millions To See Food Stamp Payment Decrease After February, Federal Agency Says

Authored by Allen Zhong via The Epoch Times,

Millions of Americans who are in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will see decreases in payments after February, a federal agency said.

The decreases in payments are driven by two main factors, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) said in an update in early January.

FNS is an agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Firstly, the temporary increase to SNAP benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic – also known as emergency allotments – will end after the February 2023 payment.

The emergency allotments gave most SNAP households approximately $95 in extra payment, the agency said.
