COVID-19 SNAP Supplements - February 2023

 

DCFS has received federal approval to issue supplemental SNAP benefits for February 2023.

SNAP households not already at the max
  • Will receive a supplement to bring them to the max. 
  • Supplement amounts less than $95 will be boosted to $95.
 
SNAP households already at the max
  • Will receive a $95 supplement.

For current SNAP households, all supplemental allotments are scheduled to be loaded onto EBT cards by Sunday, February 5th. Those who have applied for SNAP, but aren't yet certified as eligible to receive benefits, will have supplements loaded onto their cards on a rolling weekly basis after their applications are approved.

As a reminder, beginning in March 2023, all SNAP households nationally, including those in Louisiana, will return to their regular benefit amount.
