The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, is offering financial aid to U.S. citizens facing financial difficulties due to inflation.
Commonly known as the food stamp program, SNAP ensures that beneficiaries can buy nutritious food, thus improving their overall health and quality of life. According to recent news, eligible beneficiaries may receive a $120 SNAP benefits payment in June 2024, distributed by the U.S. Government across different states.
Eligible recipients can expect payments according to the State Wise $120 Food Stamp Payment Dates 2024, as published on the official U.S. government website www.usa.gov. Recent updates indicate that the Department of Agriculture will provide $120 per qualified student for grocery purchases during the summer. Ohio is one of the more than 30 states participating in this initiative.
Payment Details
During summer, students reliant on free or reduced school meals often face hunger. To combat this, a new federal program under SNAP, known as the electronic benefit transfer, has been introduced. This program allows families to receive $120 SNAP benefits payment in June 2024 to buy groceries during the summer.
Brigette Hires, director of nutrition for the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, highlighted the importance of SNAP for Ohio children who depend on school meals. Ohio is among the over 30 states distributing SNAP payments regularly.
Hires emphasized that providing support during summer can be challenging for households. The program serves as an additional safety net, ensuring families can provide nutritious meals to their children. Students meeting the program’s requirements will receive a single $120 payment by July 31, 2024. This amount will either be added to their current Ohio Direction Cards or mailed on a new card for all qualified students. Details can be verified on the official website www.usa.gov.
