SNAP benefits to change in April

Households eligible for Food Assistance Program benefits will receive additional benefits in April to bring all current SNAP cases to the maximum monthly allowance for that group size.
According to the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division of the Michigan State Police, this change only applies to customers not currently receiving the maximum benefit amount.
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services received approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to temporarily suspend federal work requirements affecting close to 27,000 able-bodied adults without dependents to reduce the financial impact of COVID-19.
No action is needed for eligible adults to be temporarily exempt from the requirements.
Effective today, the three-month time limit for failing to meet work requirements will be lifted for able-bodied adults ages 18 through 49, who have no minor-age children, and are able to work but are not working 80 hours a month.
