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.

same amount. There will be no change in extra benefits for these households.

Lastly, those households with a calculated extra food stamps benefit amount less than $95 will receive extra benefits totaling $95 per month.
