Governor Andy Beshear announced federal approval to replace food purchased from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that was lost due to power outages caused by the March 3 storms.
The approval is for food assistance program recipients in 31 counties.
SNAP recipients in the following counties who lost food are eligible for replacements: Allen, Anderson, Butler, Clinton, Edmonson, Grant, Grayson, Hancock, Harrison, Hart, Lee, Lincoln, Logan, Marion, Marshall, McCreary, Meade, Monroe, Muhlenberg, Nelson, Robertson, Russell, Simpson, Spencer, Todd Trigg, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Wolfe and Woodford.
Forty percent replacement of SNAP benefits received February 1-28 will be available, starting the morning of Saturday, April 8. Funds will be available in program members’ EBT accounts.
SNAP recipients who have already requested and received a manual replacement because of the severe March 3 storms will not receive an automatic replacement.
Questions may be directed to 855-306-8959.
