All households participating in SNAP including those already at the maximum level of benefits will receive a supplemental allotment this month, resulting in a roughly $234 million infusion of federal funding into the New York State economy.
The emergency assistance supplement is provided to all households, including those that ordinarily receive the maximum allowable benefit per month on SNAP, a federally funded program overseen by the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.
Those households already near or at the maximum benefit level—$835 for a household of four—will receive a supplemental payment of at least $95.
SNAP households in all counties outside of New York City should see these extra benefits post between today and Friday, June 17. Those SNAP households in the five-county New York City region should see their benefits post between Friday, June 17, and Thursday, June 30. ■ What to read next
