Following Calls From Schatz To Increase SNAP Benefits In Hawai"i, USDA Begins Process To Update Benefits To Reflect Food Costs
Press Release
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income
"For many in Hawai"i, SNAP is a lifeline, helping families put food on the table. But to make sure this program continues to help those who rely on it, SNAP benefits need to keep up with the real cost of food across the state. I thank the USDA and Secretary Vilsack for working with us to update SNAP benefits for Hawai"i so that those who need it can continue to access this critical federal program."
