OLGT 2020-30: SNAP: Emergency Allotment to SNAP Households

As part of the Families First Coronavirus Act of 2020, Massachusetts obtained a waiver from FNS to issue emergency SNAP allotments to certain SNAP households for the months of March and April. This emergency allotment will bring impacted SNAP households up to the maximum benefit level for their current household size for the months of March and April. More important, the supplement will provide clients with additional nutritional supports needed as a result of circumstances related to COVID-19.
