Bill to extended additional emergency SNAP benefits to be introduced to Congress. via DanielleKNews
Recipients saw an average reduction in benefits of around $90 per person, per month.
"I knew that these emergency allotments were going to end at some point. I think, like so many people, it took me by surprise that they were ending before the Emergency Declaration for COVID," said Democratic Congresswoman Yarida Caraveo of Colorado."It says that the emergency allotment will continue one year past the bill's passage.
When asked where the funding would come from, Congresswoman Caraveo said it would be a continuation of SNAP benefits already being used by the federal government. "About 80% of the Farm Bill, which is about to come up for re-authorization, has to do with these benefits, so it's just saying let's extend these a year out," she said."We do hope that this bill will spark more conversation about the need to have increased benefit levels for SNAP sustained for the long-term so families don't have to make hard choices between food and housing or food and medicine," said CEO Marc Jacobson.
