A pandemic-era boost expired, draining $31 million from Dallas-area residents in SNAP income.
About 3.6 million Texans that received an extra, pandemic-related food benefit are affected by the loss of help from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. For nearly three years, individuals got an extra boost of at least $95 a month.Starting today, about half a million North Texans are losing about $31 million each month in extra food benefits.
Valerie Hawthorne, director of government relations for the North Texas Food Bank, said her organization and those that serve lower-income households expect to see a large impact from the expiration of these benefits.Hawthorne said service organizations are encouraging benefit recipients to log into their account and find out their new benefit level.
Hawthorne said benefit recipients should contact the Department of Health and Human Services to find out what tax deductions they are eligible for, such as older Americans deducting over-the-counter medicines, hearing aids, as well as child support payments and shelter costs that exceed 50% of the income.Nationwide about 41 million Americans are affected by the end of the boost in benefits. Congress in December passed a spending bill effectively causing the COVID-era relief to expire.
“We need to go back to the Clinton-era welfare-to-work reforms,” Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, the leader of the House Budget Committee, said in anSNAP benefits are funded as part of the farm bill that’s up for reauthorization this year. The bill falls under the House Agriculture Committee, which includes Texas Republican Reps. Ronny Jackson and Monica De La Cruz, as well as Democrat Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Greg Casar.
