If you are getting SNAP/Food Stamps now you cannot get D-SNAP/Disaster Food Stamps.
But...
You could have applied for Supplemental SNAP benefits.
Supplemental SNAP Benefits
Supplemental SNAP application deadline was Friday, June 24!
If you live in one of the 12 towns hit by the tornados and storms June 1, 2011, you may be able to get the difference between your regular June SNAP regular payment and the maximum SNAP payment for a household your size.
Apply for this benefit by June 24 by visiting one of DTA offices or the Monson/Palmer center.
If you live in Brimfield, Monson, and Wilbraham (but, not Brookfield) DTA will add supplemental benefits to your EBT account by June 23, automatically. You do not need to do anything to get the supplemental payment.
If you live in one of the 9 other towns you need to apply in person at one of the DTA offices or the Monson Palmer center.
