SNAP policy allows for the replacement of food lost during a household misfortune, such as a fire, flood, loss of electricity, equipment malfunction (refrigerator or freezer) or other disaster.  Replacement is limited to the value of the food lost, not to exceed the total monthly benefit amount.  
 
SNAP clients, including combination cases, may request replacement SNAP benefits because of a misfortune that is restricted to their household or because of a more widespread misfortune that has impacted a town, county, state or region.
