SNAP

As an increasing number of Florida food-stamp recipients have to meet work requirements, the state faces a potentially significant tab from the federal government.

SNAP recipients should receive their benefits in October. The White House also pledged to keep WIC operational using tariff revenues while the government is shutdown.

Amid federal cuts, the Farmers Feeding Florida program will helps food banks distribute surplus and discounted farm products to families in need.

The proposed cuts could trigger around 33,000 layoffs and a $3 billion economic downturn in Florida, according to research published by the Commonwealth Fund.

benefits through the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Program are available to those who meet the requirements. Registration is open in some Florida counties now.
