Impact of the Federal Government Shutdown on SNAP (food stamp) benefits

Instead of getting SNAP in February, you will get it early – between January 17 & 20th.
DTA will NOT be issuing SNAP again in February: If you get SNAP on your EBT card early, you will not get SNAP again in February. Keep this in mind when you are making decisions about buying food. SNAP will stay on your card until you decide to use it!
