Uhmm. Wow!

I usually get $16 ( after my dollar raise ) on my food card. Well, my mother ( who also receives a card ) texted me to check my account. Well they have given everybody a big chunk extra. I got over $300. I figure this is a one time deal but wow. I told my mother that I sense Pelosi in the mix of this.

Has anybody else seen that in their card.

some states decided to allocate the max food stamp amount regardless of your situation.

Does it depend on the state you live in? Did you get the extra after the monthly allotment on your EBT card? I haven't heard of any SNAP benefits increase being passed.

I haven't seen an increase.

It is extra after monthly allotment. I did not know about it until a couple of hours ago and called EBT to find out and there it was.
