SNAP

Texas is one of about a dozen states that won't be participating in a federal program that provides families with $120 per eligible child to buy groceries while school is out.

Texas was one of 13 states last year that did not participate in a new federal program providing eligible families with $120 per child over the summer to help pay for groceries while school is out. The state must say whether it plans to participate in the Summer EBT program by Jan. 1.

State agencies said the U.S. Department of Agriculture did not provide enough information in time for Texas to implement the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer Program in 2024.

Starting this month, Texans who use SNAP benefits to buy groceries will have an average of $212 less per month to buy groceries, as pandemic-era increases to the food assistance program are ended.

The Biden administration's actions rolls back a Trump-era policy that some said deterred immigrants from applying for benefits like SNAP and WIC.

The average SNAP benefit will increase by $36.24 per person, per month, starting in October.
