The website said benefit amounts will return to normal in March for all SNAP households after receiving a temporary boost during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you receive Social Security, you recently got a bump in benefits at the beginning of the year, so that means you may also see a decrease in your SNAP benefits because of that change.

These changes can affect many households as grocery costs continue to skyrocket. We want to know how you feel about this change and if it’s affected you or a loved one.
