The HHSC received federal approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA to extend the maximum allowable amount of SNAP benefits to recipients based on family size, the news release stated. All SNAP households will receive a minimum of $95 in emergency allotments that should appear in recipients’ accounts by Feb. 28.
“These emergency SNAP benefits continue to provide support to so many Texans,” Abbott said in the news release.
