Delaware Valley residents receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits may soon have less money to spend on groceries as pandemic-era emergency assistance ends.
More than 30 million Americans will receive about $90 less this month in benefits. Some households will see a cut of $250 a month or more, according to an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. People who receive SNAP will get roughly $6.10 per day to spend on food, down from $9.
New Jersey is nearly doubling the minimum monthly benefit payment for SNAP from $50 to $95 to tackle the issue.
