Food Stamps and Unemployment Compensation in the COVID-19 Crisis
Likely Effects of the CARES Act on SNAP and UI Receipt
“Despite the additional funding and eased requirements for SNAP, the bulk of income replacement during the Covid-19 crisis will almost certainly come through UI benefits. The increased generosity of UI under CARES Act, relative to the Great Recession, will probably reduce the rate of joint UI and SNAP participation through December 31, 2020, when the CARES Act is set to expire. Therefore, the majority of added SNAP benefits will likely go to households already on SNAP. In fact, the increased generosity of UI might render some SNAP households ineligible, as UI benefits reduce SNAP benefits more than an equivalent rise in earnings from work.”
Well, this doesn’t really surprise me in what just happened to my daughter and I. We are going to lose our SNAP benefits come May 31st just because of her unemployment and the $1200 stimulus payment for each of us. I received this Notice today in the mail with it being dated April 25. This is even before that I found out that the $1200 was in my account which happened today also April 29th. Their A.I. already decided our fate before I did receive the money. So. I guess the news article above also knew that this was coming, before I did!
p.s. She also gets penalized since she’s working part time as an essential worker in a fast food restaurant in her unemployment compensation.
