What are Emergency Allotment benefits?
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act authorized emergency SNAP benefits because of COVID-19. These are also called Extra food stamps.
EA benefits are part of the Pandemic Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also know as P-SNAP.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approves requests from states for the extra food stamps benefits on a month-by-month basis.
The USDA approves the requests based on a public health emergency declaration by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act related to an outbreak of COVID-19 when a state has also issued an emergency or disaster declaration.

How Much will you get in Extra Food Stamps Benefits?
According to the USDA, The extra food stamps you will receive are the difference between the SNAP household’s maximum benefit for the household size.
However, all households receive extra food stamps of at least $95.
Also, those households currently receiving $95 or more will continue to receive that
same amount. There will be no change in extra benefits for these households.
Additionally, those households receiving the maximum base SNAP benefit for their household size at the current temporary level of 115 percent will receive extra benefits of $95 per month.
Lastly, those households with a calculated extra food stamps benefit amount less than $95 will receive extra benefits totaling $95 per month.
