Dear Neighbor,
Governor Ned Lamont has announced $3 million in emergency state funding for Connecticut Foodshare, the state’s largest food bank, to assist residents expected to lose access to federal food assistance due to the shutdown of the federal government. As a result:
- No new SNAP benefits will be distributed after November 1.
- If you have a balance from previous months, it is expected that those carryover benefits already on EBT cards will remain accessible after November 1.
- DSS is still accepting and processing SNAP applications. If someone is approved for benefits for October, those benefits will appear on their card when the federal government reopens.
