With the ongoing government shutdown, there have been worries about receiving February SNAP benefits. According to the New Mexico Human Services Department, February SNAP benefits were issued in full on January 20th. The issued funds will be for all of February, so if you are a SNAP participant, keeping a budget in mind is a good idea!
The USDA is able to continue SNAP funding through February due to a short term funding bill. This funding will also continue to cover school lunch programs, food distribution programs on Indian reservations, and child nutrition programs including WIC for the upcoming month. If you have concerns about your SNAP funding feel free to contact us or ask your Food Champion. Our goal is to continue to provide access to fresh produce and support our communities! info@mogro.net / / 505-216-8611
