SAN ANTONIO – SNAP households saw a minimum reduction of $95 in their benefits this month.
The rollbacks which begin in March will return families and individuals using benefits from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — or SNAP — to their regular amounts without the emergency allotments that were distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The allotments were set in place by Congress in March 2020 as a temporary means to help supplement families and individuals in need of food assistance during the pandemic.
According to the USDA, more than 41 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits to help put food on the table each month. With the SNAP boost removed, many families and individuals participating in this food program may be left struggling to afford groceries.
To help meet the need of anyone facing SNAP reduction or food insecurity, the San Antonio Food Bank continues to serve as a base for support.
