What is happening to my benefits?
In March 2020, the US government allowed Indiana to issue “emergency allotments” to help households who already use SNAP to help out during the pandemic. Click here to read more.
This allowed SNAP families to get the maximum benefit allowed based on the number of people in the household. Based on recent changes to Indiana law, the last month many people will receive the emergency benefit will be May 2022.
