Biggest Food Stamp Hike Ever, Thanks to BidenflationEthan Letkeman 6 Oct 2022
Food stamp benefits are increasing by 12.5 percent as families grapple with grocery prices that have skyrocketed under President Joe Biden.
Under the maximum benefit, a family of four on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will see their payments increase from $835 to $939 per month.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) noted the change would be implemented in October and last a year, CNN reported.
It is the largest annual percentage increase since the USDA’s implementation of the Thrifty Food Plan in 1975.
SNAP benefits are adjusted on what the Thrifty Food Plan determines a family of four can purchase on a healthy, low-budget diet. The benefits are updated annually based on the cost of the plan in June and take effect in October.
Since the cost of living has significantly jumped, SNAP benefits are increasing more than they ever have — in order to keep up with the high inflation that has occurred under the Biden administration.
