Food Stamps

Louisiana SNAP recipients will soon receive full November benefits as LDH prepares to distribute 100% of funds this week.

847,100 Louisiana residents won't get SNAP benefits Nov. 1 if shutdown continues. Food banks preparing as families face Thanksgiving without assistance.

Louisiana SNAP and WIC programs could face funding issues if the federal shutdown continues, possibly delaying November benefits.

If you are a resident of Louisiana who receives SNAP benefits, you may not be able to buy soft drinks using that money soon.

About3.4 million Texans will be affected by a major overhaul proposed for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Louisiana families that receive SNAP Benefits might soon notice their purchasing power has changed and some items will no longer be included under the program.

More than 130,000 Louisiana families will see their SNAP benefits decrease in January, according to the Department of Children and Family Services.

The benefits are increasing to try to keep up with the cost of living due to inflation.

Those changes, including the elimination of 1000 jobs, would be effective January 2019.
