Emergency SNAP Allotments:
Emergency SNAP Allotments will continue through January 16, 2023.
These allotments are meant to increase the household's SNAP benefit to the maximum benefit for that household's size. No additional action is needed as this will happen automatically. If the household is already receiving the maximum benefit, there will not be an emergency allotment disbursed.
