Florida Launches SNAP Replacement Program for Hurricane Isaias Victims
What happened
The Florida Department of Children and Families initiated a process allowing current SNAP recipients to apply for replacement benefits for food lost due to Hurricane Isaias. This initiative covers 14 Florida counties, including Calhoun and Gadsden, but specifically excludes Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Broward. Eligible households may receive benefits up to their previously approved monthly SNAP amount, contingent on an appropriate assessment.
