After the pandemic began, many Americans collecting food stamps were issued emergency allotments, which provided additional benefits.
These benefits were equal to the maximum allotment or $95 for those already getting the maximum.
States may issue these payments when their state is still under some sort of public health emergency declaration.
This was extended by the USDA and is set to expire July 15, 2022.
