With more Minnesota families struggling with grocery bills starting today more families will soon be able to get help buying healthy food through SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The program’s gross income limit increases today, September 1st. An additional 1,400 households may become eligible for SNAP or may continue receiving their existing SNAP assistance, even if their income goes up.
For most households, the gross monthly income limit for SNAP in Minnesota will rise to 200% of the federal poverty line, this increase is up from 165% raise in 2010 from 130% of the federal poverty line. Under the new limit, a family of three with an annual income of up to about $46,000 before taxes will be eligible. According to Jodi Harpstead, Human Services Commissioner this change will This change will help more Minnesotans feed their families. Harpstead went onto say that rising food costs can quickly wipe out any increase in income, but hopefully this can help offset that with more support for individuals and families who continue to face food insecurity. The change won’t increase or modify the monthly amount of SNAP assistance for an individual or family. Rather, it simply means that more Minnesotans may now be eligible to receive – or continue receiving – nutrition assistance.
