SNAP benefits are much more than monthly payments. There are many programs that help you get more food for less money, not to mention the fact that it may have other perks.
Take for example the Double Up Food Bucks program. It matches your SNAP EBT dollars so you get twice the veggies and fruits. However, this is not today’s topic since there is a new initiative in Colorado that can reimbursed up to $60.
Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients living in Colorado can take advantage of this $60 bonus. Only by meeting those 2 requirements, being a resident of Colorado and receiving Food Stamps you qualify.
The Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus is available on eligible vegetables and fruits. The thing is there are only some participating locations, so you just need to find the closest ones in your area.
