BATON ROUGE – The Louisiana Department of Health plans to distribute 100% of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to eligible recipients within a week.
Full federal benefits will be paid to eligible SNAP households that haven’t received their November benefits, and all households that only received 65% of their benefits for November are due to receive the remaining 35% beginning next week, a news release from LDH said.
In addition, people who received 25% of state-funded assistance between Nov. 1 and Nov. 4 will now receive the rest of their November federal benefits.
The benefits are planned to be distributed to recipients on their usual distribution day of the month.
