For this month of march there will be no extra money and the emergency allotment is already over. Moreovre, there were some states that got rid of the extra money long ago but other states kept helping families with this extra or additional Food Stamp Benefits. According to the Food and Nutrition Service, all SNAP beneficiaries will no not get this additional money.
In a tododisca news said that last February when SNAP beneficiaries could take advantage of the bigger check but only in some states. The additional amount was a check worth $95. This might not seem like a lot of money but for a family that lives on a shoestring budget, it meant so much. Nevertheless, this amount could be even higher if you had more family in your household. The higher the family, the higher the Food Stamp Benefits to avail.

The first thing that you should understand is the fact that this additional money was meant as a relief during the pandemic and the high unemployment rates of that time. Once the pandemic is over, it is no longer makes sense to keep paying that extra money for SNAP checks. It is true that some families have suffered the consequences of the pandemic and now the high inflation.
There are some states that are considering taking out measures to help low- income families cope with skyrocketing cost of living. Just like the emergency allotment, there might be extra funds to be able to beat with inflation. The state of New Jersey has decided to increase the SNAP benefits after they had a reduction when the emergency allotment ended.
