Low-income Kentucky residents recovering from severe weather outbreaks could be eligible for a helping hand from USDA’s Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The Department of Agriculture Tuesday announced an estimated 14,000 households in 14 counties may be eligible to receive the food assistance. The program is for residents impacted by tornadoes, flooding and wind that began December 10, 2021. Households that may not normally be eligible under regular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program rules may qualify for D-SNAP, if they meet the disaster income limits and have qualifying disaster-related expenses. To be eligible for D-SNAP, a household must either live or work in an identified disaster area and have been affected by the disaster. Eligible households will receive one month of benefits equal to the maximum amount for a SNAP household of their size to meet temporary food needs as they settle back home following the disaster.
