Important Information About January and February SNAP Benefits

Due to the continuing government shutdown, February SNAP benefits are being released early to most of our customers.

All SNAP Participants:
- You will be able to use your EBT card to purchase food as long as you have benefits on your card.
- Plan food purchases carefully throughout January and February so your food needs are met through the government shutdown.
- SNAP benefits will not be issued again until March, if funds are available from the federal government.
- When the shutdown ends, SNAP benefits will go back to normal.
If you received an additional Food Assistance (SNAP) payment on your EBT card from January 16-20:
- This is not an additional payment for January. These are your February SNAP benefits.
- No SNAP benefits will be added in the month of February.
