Important Change to SNAP Benefits

Starting in March 2023, there is an important change in the amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits recipients will be getting. Right now, SNAP benefits are paid in two payments during the month: regular SNAP benefit is paid in the first half of the month and an extra payment (known as an Emergency Allotment) is paid in the second half of the month. The extra payment in the second half of the month will stop after February 2023. This means that starting in March 2023, recipients will only receive one regular SNAP payment. This change is happening because of a change in federal law. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) wants to make sure families that need food assistance know when this change happens and where to go for help.

Information about SNAP Emergency Allotments is available at dhs.pa.gov/SNAPcares.
