SNAP benefits to increase

(CNN)– People who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program known as ‘SNAP’ will soon see a slight increase in their benefits.

Formerly known as ‘The Food Stamp Program’, the increase in SNAP benefits comes from a cost-of-living adjustment set to take effect this month.

Households will see benefits increase by a few dollars per month.

The update comes with changes to income eligibility for the program.

The net monthly income threshold for a family of 4 will increase from 25 hundred dollars to 26 hundred dollars.
