Emergency food stamps explained

Emergency benefits are also known as Emergency Allotments.

A few states have started phasing out of the emergency benefits and making residents aware.

This includes Nebraska and Tennessee, which have already phased out their emergency SNAP.

If a state has ended their emergency declaration, they must end emergency allotments.
