Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)In March of 2020, DHHS made temporary program changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which included an additional, emergency SNAP allotment and extended SNAP eligibility. Show The flexibilities you received as a participant in the SNAP program during the COVID-19 pandemic were made possible by federal COVID-19 funding. These flexibilities will end when federal and state COVID-19 public health emergencies end. New Hampshire is currently under a Public Health Incident Declaration, which will remain in effect until December 31, 2022. The USDA Food and Nutrition Services allows states to continue to provide the emergency SNAP allotment if a state is under a State of Emergency or Public Health Incident, and NH will continue to apply for future Emergency SNAP Allotment on a monthly basis under the Public Health Incident Declaration. New SNAP Changes Beginning October 1Beginning October 1, 2021, Federal and State laws will change the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These included changes to income limits, the maximum amount of SNAP benefits you can receive, and the amount of deductions you can claim. You will have received a notice letting you know the amount of your benefit. As a result of the COVID pandemic, SNAP benefits increased for all households by 15%. This was a temporary change and will expire at the end of September, 2021. Read more about the changes in this update from the US Food and Nutrition Services. MedicaidBack-to-School Medicaid Renewal Reminder American Sign Language Video - Medicaid Renewals Renew Your Medicaid CoverageDuring the federal COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) temporarily waived certain Medicaid program requirements and conditions to prevent people with Medicaid from losing their health coverage during the federal PHE. But when the PHE ends, DHHS will be required to resume normal renewal procedures. Take action now to ensure you have health coverage when the PHE ends. If you are covered by Medicaid and have received a PINK notice from DHHS, you must complete a redetermination and provide the information requested in that notice to see if you are still eligible for Medicaid. You can do this now through your NH EASY account. Your Medicaid will not close while the PHE remains in effect, but if you wait to complete your redetermination until after the PHE ends, you may experience a gap in your Medicaid coverage. What you need to
know Every household that receives SNAP will get extra benefits, called “Emergency Allotments” (EAs), in the second half of the month. EAs are to help with food costs during the pandemic Will I get extra SNAP benefits? YES, everyone who receives SNAP will receive an Emergency Allotment (EA). The EA amount you get depends on 1) your household size, and 2) if you are already getting the maximum benefit amount for your household (see chart).
When will I get my Emergency Allotment? The date your extra SNAP benefits will be put on your EBT card is based on the last number of your Case Record Number. To find your October payment date:
Note: EAs are tied to the federal Public Health Emergency, which has currently been extended through January 2023. This means the last month of EAs is likely to be February 2023.. Make sure the CAO has your correct income and knows your housing costs, child care costs, and medical expenses (if you are 60+ or disabled), to get the most SNAP you can after EAs end.
