SNAP recipients can get up to $1,751 from USDA. This is the maximum Food Stamp amount in the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia. If you have spent all your money on food and lost it due to severe weather conditions, a replacement can greatly help you.
Many households in Kentucky suffered the consequences of severe storms. A combination of hail, strong winds, and heavy rain caused a power outage. Since it lasted for at least 4 hours, some SNAP recipients may have lost some or part of the food they had bought.
What can I do if I lost the food I bought with SNAP due to the storms in Kentucky?
The Kentucky Department for Community Based Services claims that you should call them. Their phone number is (855) 306-8959. Tell them you need a SNAP replacement after the May 26 severe storms.
Do not put it off because there is about one week left to claim them. So, if you do not request a replacement in 8 days, you will not be able to claim them after that deadline.
Many families may have lost their food and may have a low income. Apply for SNAP benefits because it could help you buy groceries. In this way, you can save money every month and spend it on other necessary expenses.
