The federal government has implemented new work requirements that impact how long certain SNAP recipients can receive benefits. Here’s what you need to know to protect your SNAP benefits.

Get help finding food

As of October 16, November SNAP (also known as food stamps) benefits will not be paid until the federal government releases funds to Pennsylvania.
