How Long Will SNAP Last?

States can continue giving emergency supplemental benefits as long as there's a declared disaster or federal public emergency in the participating state. Some observers believe that it will likely continue to extend the emergency state into the near future.

Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services prolonged the federal public emergency for additional three months amid the surge in COVID-19 infections, per Forbes.

Some people reportedly had their SNAP benefits grow by hundreds of dollars as a result of these extended benefits, which have proven to be a lifesaver. The effectiveness of the expanded benefits has been recognized by 38 states, which have renewed them through the end of January 2022-and likely beyond.
