Pandemic SNAP Benefits (P-SNAP)
The Pandemic Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is also known as P-SNAP was implemented to help address temporary food needs caused by COVID-19. P-SNAP provides emergency allotment benefits to households based on size.
Emergency Allotment (EA) Benefits
Provided that you are already receiving the maximum monthly benefit amount based on your household size, then you will not receive any additional benefits. But if you are not receiving the maximum benefit allotment for your household size, then you will receive extra food stamp benefits to bring your total monthly benefits to the maximum.
For example:
If you live in a household of 3 people and are currently receiving $425 in SNAP benefits per month, then you will receive an additional $84 in food stamp benefits. That’s because the maximum allotment amount for a household of three is $509 per month.
Current Monthly SNAP Benefits – Maximum Monthly Benefit Allotment = Total Extra SNAP benefits.
Maximum SNAP Benefit Allotment for Household Size
The chart shows the Maximum SNAP Allotment Amount for your household size. The Maximum Allotment amount varies by location, so refer to the maximum SNAP benefit amount for where you live.
