Enhanced pandemic food stamp benefits end for Hoosiers after May, FSSA says
“Pandemic-related SNAP benefits will end for Indiana families after May.
That’s according to the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA).
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. government issued ’emergency allotments’ to help families on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
SNAP families were eligible receive the maximum benefit based on the number of people in their household. For most Indiana families on SNAP, it meant they received more benefits than they would have under “normal” circumstances.
Now that Indiana’s public health emergency has expired, and due to a recent change in state law, May will be the final month for enhanced SNAP benefits for Hoosiers, FSSA said.”
