Federal government to end SNAP emergency allotments after February

February will be the last month of emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program allotments created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Recently passed federal legislation is bringing the temporary SNAP allotment to an end after February,” Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Director Matt Damschroder announced Tuesday. “We will be communicating to recipients, county agencies and our partners such as foodbanks that normal SNAP payments will resume in March.”
