SNAP, or food stamps, is seeing a permanent $36 dollar increase for recipients.
The program is run by the Department of Agriculture and the increase was in part helped by the Biden administration.

While regular groceries sky rocket in price, they are also becoming increasingly harder to keep on the shelves.
