Mississippi is going to provide additional SNAP food benefits to eligible families in June, according to a Wednesday release from the MDHS.
From the release:
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, households currently receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will be eligible for a supplemental benefit for June 2020. Similar benefits were provided for certified SNAP households for the months of March, April, and May 2020.
SNAP households that have been certified based on meeting income and resource requirements are eligible to receive the supplement benefits. These households will receive benefit supplements up to the maximum benefit amount, based on household size. For example, the maximum benefit for a 2-person household is $355. A 2-person household authorized to receive $200 for June will receive an additional $155, the total maximum amount the household could receive.
SNAP households already certified to receive the maximum benefit amount for June will not receive an additional supplement. For example, a 2-person household authorized to receive the maximum amount of $355 will not receive an additional supplement in June.
The June supplements will be available to currently certified SNAP households on June 2. For households newly approved in the month of June, the supplemental benefit will be available two (2) days after case approval.
