SNAP updates: Auto replacement for outages; EBT card issuance, college students, immigrant households and more!
In follow up to Tuesday’s SNAP Coalition meeting, there are important updates we’d like to share. In terms of a “perfect storm” of challenges, in early August many parts of MA suffered extensive power outages in early August; the $600/week federal pandemic unemployment stopped, and DTA received over 23,000 SNAP applications the first two weeks of August.
